Unfortunately just missed the 0.8.9 boat but here's a patch that enables
real time capture display for win32. I've tested on win98 and NT 4.0 and
all seems OK.
The code is a little bit kludgy as Win9x doesn't fully support Named Pipes
which allow the process to wait for I/O. I used the GTK method of adding a
timer that peeks into the pipe every second. I didn't use the GTK I/O
channels as I couldn't get them to work across processes.
Only difficulty I've found is that as packets are added the main window
comes to the front, usually obscuring the capture statistics window which
contains the ever useful "Stop" button. I would like to make the Capture
stats window always "on top" in win32 parlance, does anyone know how to
achieve this?
