hi.

i'm writing an ethereal dissector (code to be sent to this list in the
next week, i promise) for cisco/caida's netflow.

i need to convert a network number into a string. i don't see any current
use of inet_ntoa() (what i'm currently using) in the codebase, which i
assume is because of portability issues. what should i be using?

also, if anyone on this list has ${YOUR_FAVORITE_DUMP_FORMAT} dumps for
netflow (v1, v5, v7, or v8) exports, i'd like them.  i have my own dumps
of all these formats but they're all cisco catalyst or juniper m-series
based.  i'd like some from the GSR/72xx/75xx family as well as any other
vendor.  i can provide documentation on how to enable flow exporting on
your equipment if required. your data will remain confidential, my own
statistics are much more interesting to me, anyways. ;->

lastly, README.developer needs to be tvbufified. not a big deal, but a
small pain when you're trying to match up arguments.

thanks in advance,
