[Ethereal-dev] Development of a new dissector for PROFIBUS

Hi list,

Your answer :

> Where is the interface (resources) of the Ethereal software ?

If by "resources" you mean "resources" in the sense of resources in a
Windows application, the answer is "nowhere" - Ethereal isn't a Windows
application, it's a multi-platform application, so it doesn't use
Windows resources for items in the GUI.

> How can I build Ethereal from the project .dsw on Visual 6 ?

Well, the first thing you'd have to do would be to construct a .dsw file
- Ethereal doesn't use one.  It uses console-mode nmake Makefiles - most
files are mentioned in Makefile.common files that can be used both by
UN*X automake "Makefile.am" files and MSVC++ nmake "Makefile.nmake" files.

My questions:

I want to know if the interface (menus and windows) of Ethereal can be 
evolved or not ? Can I add new element on the menu "View" for example in 
order to display a signal ???

How can I construct a .dsw file on Visual C++ 6 with the sources of Ethereal 
?

Thanks
