Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: Re: [Ethereal-dev] Patch to packet-frame.c for Mate access

Hi,

> Could send me the sources of the plugin. I will test it.

I'm in the middle a deep change in how MATE works, so right now MATE
is broken...  However the last version I released uses the same API
calls the new version will.

The last version is attached to this posting:

It does not use any GTK calls.
I had the plugin version of MATE running on MacOS X and Linux.

I've looked on libethereal.def and It is missing just two calls of what I use.
