Richard,

The online version of the specs (http://www.winpcap.org/ntar/draft/PCAP-DumpFileFormat.html or http://www.winpcap.org/ntar/draft/PCAP-DumpFileFormat.xml ) is not updated automatically out of the specs on SVN.

Hi folks,

I am working through the whole document.

1. I notice in the source that Jasper made and edit on 26-Jul but it does not appear in the on-line version, even though Guy made an edit or two on 27-July.

2. The introductory statement contains some English that can be improved:

"The problem of exchanging packet traces becomes more and more critical every day; unfortunately, no standard solutions exist for this task right now. One of the most accepted packet interchange formats is the one defined by libpcap, which is rather old and does not fit for some of the nowadays applications particularly from the extensibility point of view. "

I think it should be:

"The problem of exchanging packet traces becomes more and more critical every day; unfortunately, no standard solutions exist for this task right now. One of the most accepted packet interchange formats is the one defined by libpcap, which is rather old and is lacking in functionality for more modern applications, particularly from the extensibility point of view. "
