The diameter dissector builds value strings from file. The sminpec value string is built from a script. Regards Anders
But that is at compile-time, I was thinking of a runtime option. Kind regards, Peter

Has there ever been an attempt to load these from file? This has the benefit that these files can be updated without having to rebuild/install a new version of Wireshark. (Additional benefits: the data can be compressed and ignored from Lintian spell-checking.) -- Kind regards, Peter Wu https://lekensteyn.nl
