Some Perl code to read older NetXray cap files:

	http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/usenix-nt97.html

Get "response-time.tar.gz" or "response-time.zip" - the "digcap" file
contained in there is a Perl script that includes code to read snoop
captures and the old NetXRay capture file.  The code would have to be
extracted from the script, and would have to be updated to handle the
newer formats used by Sniffer for Windows.
