EditCap as well as TShark is not able to convert "NetScreen snoop text file" to
a libpcap format. Suprisingly Wireshark is able to do it (when you use "File ->
Save as"). Please try converting attached trace with following commands:

C:\>"Program Files\Wireshark\editcap.exe" -F libpcap NetScreen.txt t.pcap
editcap: Can't open or create t.pcap: Files from that network type can't be
save
d in that format

C:\>"Program Files\Wireshark\tshark.exe" -F libpcap -r NetScreen.txt -w t.pcap
tshark: The capture file being read can't be written in that format.
