That's what I assumed - I've sent in a patch for the documentation.

Hmm. I can see that might be useful (more useful than the current menu
option). Unfortunately I'm right in the middle of big piece of work -
adding the ability to select dissectors based on display filters - and
I'd rather get that finished first. Would it be possible to accept the
patch as it is (or possibly remove the Base64 menu items and
documentation to avoid future confusion) for the moment? 

I'd hope to be able to look at a quick change to do Base64 decoding of
data in a couple of weeks. I'm afraid I'm getting paid for this work,
which means that I have a bunch of users and a manager to answer to -
although we're obviously keen to make changes that are useful to the
community as well as to ourselves.

Cheers

Doug
