...complete with man page (which contains the same lengthy description
of display filter stuff - although I call them "read filters" in the
Tethereal man page - as the Ethereal man page).

Those who want a tty-oriented, i.e. snoop/tcpdump-like, capture and
display program, and who prefer snoop to tcpdump, might like it.  (Its
output formats are snoop-like, and, like snoop, when it's doing a live
capture it displays a count of packets captured.  I think you can guess
whether I fit into the "prefer snoop to tcpdump" category or not. :-))

It uses the same dissectors as Ethereal does (it links with the same
".o"s).

The summary format is currently hardwired to be snoop-like, although it
should perhaps use the summary-display configuration from Ethereal.  It
may require some work to make it load plugins.
