Is there a way to run tethereal with specified protocol dissectors
turned off?  e.g. I am looking for a way to prevent the tcp sub-
dissectors from overwriting the info field, so that I can see the
flag bits (syn, ack, rst, fin, etc.).  For example, http and ssl
packets do not display that information in the info field.

I can achieve the same effect by running ethereal, turning off the
http and ssl protocols, then printing to a file, but I am looking
to automate this so tethereal is the preferred tool.  Note that I
am not trying to filter http and ssl packets, I just want to get them
displayed as tcp.
