Gilbert, I don't have the file.  I'm looking in my source distribution
under the doc directory, and I only see:

Makefile                dfilter2pod*            randpkt.txt
Makefile.am             dfilter2pod.in*
Makefile.in             ethereal.pod.template


Do I have to checkout the CVS tree to get this file? (probably should do
that anyway...)
