Thanks Hans--that looks pretty slick.

In this case though I would like to use the current version of Wireshark
and I'm wondering if this U3P package allows Wireshark to run from a
flash drive without installing anything on the host including WinPcap.

This would be especially appealing to me--but I'm not sure it's
possible, especially with the WinPcap part.

Thanks,
  --Jim
