Hi,

I'm a potential novice source code contributor to Ethereal, and the project
I'd like to undertake is adding support for a new type of test data file,
that made by my company, Catapult.  If necessary, I'll go figure out
how to do it from the source, but I was wondering if there was any cookbook
or hint book that might make this task easier?  More generally, any tips
or gotchas?  

Since I'm new, I haven't signed up for the mail list, so I'd appreciate
responses to also be copied to me directly: dick AT catapult.com.  

Thanks a lot,
Dick Karp
