> How do you get to the raw frame data?

After checking my notes, I believe it was via the packet data (pd)
member of the capture file (cfile) variable.  This is the same data
which winds up being placed in a tvb when add_packet_to_packet_list()
is called.  (And then on to the actual dissection.)  As I said, not
very nice.

Although I did get my code to work, I was very happy to find a way to
avoid having to violate a lot of the built in layering.  Of course
this was all before I found this list and a few other choice items
about how Ethereal was put together.
