hi.
i found that most of the function in ethereal are useless for me.

too bad, most people find it pretty useful - :-)

I need only the analyse of one protocol:sip. how can i extract related parts for ethereal files ,and compile to build a new executable file parsing sip?the relation of ethereal source files is very complex, to build a new executable file correctly is very hard.
BTW, how can i download all of the mails in ethereal-dev mail list.
thank you!

SIP is a clear text protocol that is not that difficult to dissect;

if you look for bare diseccting code you may want to have a look at
the print-sip.c file that is shipped with tcpdump;
