thanks for the info.

regarding .apc i meant native airopeek format. i tried to read some sample
.apc files with ethereal. it is able to read them but nowhere i found
anything specificaly mentioning .apc although etherpeek was there.

can you tell me which part deals with wildpacket's airopeek (.apc) format.

regards,
Puneet
