File Save-As Nokia tcpdump corrupts the file. You can save any other file
format into Nokia tcpdump. It will not be possible to open the saved output in
Wireshark.

I have been looking at the hex dumps trying to figure out why the saved output
file is considered corrupted by Wireshark, but I can't figure it out. Wireshark
can open a Nokia tcpdump generated on the Nokia IPSO platform, so the reader
seems to be fine.

The file format saved by Wireshark seems to follow the same format (as far as I
can see in a hex editor), and I can actually open the Wireshark output as a
Nokia tcpdump in other tools; Wireshark itself cannot open them though.
