Title: Message
Hello,
 
I'm trying to figure out why TCP packets of type yhoo (port 5050) will not decode properly.  Older messages in the dev list discussed issues of heuristic vs non heuristic decoders, another mentioned a bug in the "decode as" window.  However, I still am having problems understanding the source of the inability of ethereal to decode yhoo type packets.  Is the protocol 'supported' or not? 
YHOO does not show in the "decode as" window, nor does it appear in the edit -> preferences -> protocols.  But under edit -> protocols it appears and it is enabled.  If there are source changes to be made and they are not too complicated I am more than willing to work on it, since it would help me on my current project.
I am running the precompiled 0.9.5 binary on win32.
 
Thanks,
 
Eric
