I cannot find the "critical" file readme.DISSECTORS either on the website or
in the downloaded doc directory. I am probably being thick, but I even
looked for it on the old ethereal site.
Can you post me url to the file or the file itself.
Thanks
Hal

Your best bet is to visit the wireshark website's developer info
section. In particular, you should read readme.DEVELOPER,
readme.PLUGINS, and readme.DISSECTORS (the latter is critical).
The dissectors one is long, but worth the read.
