What is the field you want to add?

I need to maintain state information in every VJ compressed packet. hence the need to add data to "frame_data" structure.

However, Ethereal *does* have a way for a protocol to attach to a frame
an arbitrary blob of data - see "p_add_proto_data()" and
"p_get_proto_data()".

This serves the purpose. However, I hope that future releases of Ethereal wont remove this interface.
