Instructions:

*** Ethcapt.exe : Ethernet Packet Capturer

Syntax: Ethcapt.exe filename [Optional] mode

Ethcapt  captures the  packets coming to your ethenet, depending 
upon ethernet mode. All packets saved to filename specified. The 
file format is simple, each packet is saved in format

2 byte : sequence number
2 byte : packet length
bytes=packet length : packet

The default mode is 6. However you can specify the mode of operation
for Ethernet.

* Note: Not all packet drivers supports mode 6 (promiscuous mode). *

TSR version of this program is under test. I will put it here very soon.

*** Ethview.exe : Packet Analyzer for file produced by
		  ethcapt.exe

Syntax: Ethview datafile [Optional] reportfile

The file produced by Ethcapt.exe can be analyzed by Ethview.exe. The 
report file is optional, default output to stdout. Currently Ethview 
supports ARP, RARP, IP DATAGRAM ( TCP, UDP, and ICMP). Depending on 
packet, Ethview prints header information of each packets. The entire 
HEX dump of ethernet packet is also get printed.
