I'd planned on extending Graeme Hewson's submitted splitcap util (and making it work),

How do you mean -- does my unmodified utility not compile or work on the current Ethereal release?

It didn't build initially (I can't recall what version I was using at the time, maybe somewhere around the 0.10.4 timeframe?), though wasn't hard to get working. It did have some bugs that needed to be fixed and some other cleanup I believe, and I wanted to extend it to do the slicing I described.

I do, however, have an extremely simple splitcap utility available now -


Could it be called something else, so the name splitcap is "reserved"?

Hrm, how about "slicecap", which hopefully doesn't collide with the name of a util from some other package somewhere =) (A quick Google search turns up nothing)
