I've certainly been using other analyzers displays/printouts; at least
for non-proprietary protocols, I can't see that there'd be a problem
with looking at the decoded output.  (The output format of both "snoop"
and Microsoft's Network Monitor sure look as if the authors had spent
some time in front of a Sniffer(R)....)
