I originally started talking with Guy about this, but since he's on
vacation, I thought I'd try the group.
I found out the following when playing with the (Fluke Optiview Expert -
OPE) Finisar product:
OK. I open an OPE capture in Ethereal. I check what format Ethereal thinks
its in (Tools -> Summary) and it says Sun Snoop.
Not OK. I open an OPE trace in Ethereal, save a few packets in Sun Snoop
format and try to open the trace file in OPE.
Not OK. I capture packets, save it in Sun Snoop format and try to open it
in OPE.
Why would Ethereal be able to open the trace file from OPE, identify it as
Sun Snoop but not save it in the same format. Or am I misunderstanding this.
I understand the spirit of submitting this information to the generic
ethereal support address, but thought you may be interested. If you would
prefer I could resend this to the support address instead. Let me know.

The problem you described in
http://www.thetechfirm.com/ethereal/To_ethereal.ppt
is, as far as I know, already fixed, so no assistance is needed.
The problem you mentioned in yoru recent mail:

appears to be a Surveyor bug, as we write, as far as I know, 100%
correct snoop files; I do not work for Finisar, so I can give no
assistance there.
