------- Comment #16 from stephentfisher@xxxxxxxxx  2007-11-24 03:38 GMT -------
Thanks for the additional capture files!

I have checked in an initial version of the code that reads CommView files as
SVN revision 23558.  Could you try it out on any other capture files you have
and put it through regular use to test for any bugs.  It is currently lacking
support to uncompress individual packet data as we haven't been able to find a
way to generate compressed packets.

I did manage to download a 30-day trial of CommView's main product on my
Windows machine and I saw an option to decompress compressed packet data.  When
I work on the CommView writing support in Wireshark, I'll write routines to
compress the individual pieces of packet data and then read it into CommView's
software to see if it reads properly.  If it does, I can reverse the Zlib
writing support to make it read support only (Wireshark has no options to turn
on compression of individual packet data for writing out packets so that
feature probably won't be present.)
