22-April-1997 DBS-ETHERWATCH X5-008 This package contains ETHERWATCH X5-008, an Ethernet "sniffer" program which allows selection of packets based on addresses and protocol types. Packet data can be displayed in a number of formats. Recording and playing back of data is also possible. Documentation is included in the file ETHERWATCH.MEM. The file DBSSYSRTL.EXE is a run-time library used by all of the utilities and should either be put in SYS$SHARE or have a logical (DBSSYSRTL) defined to point to the file. An alternative to this is to build the image using SYS_OBJECTS.OLB. (Source for this RTL is available as DBS-SYSRTL.) If rebuilding, you will need to define DBSLIBRARY to point to the location of these files. The images supplied were built on VMS V5.5-2. Contents: --------- File Description ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AAAREADME.1ST This file. ETHERWATCH.ALPHA_EXE The VESTed version of ETHERWATCH.VEST_ME. ETHERWATCH.CARD A quick reference card ETHERWATCH.EXE The executable ETHERWATCH.VEST_ME A VAX executable suitable for VESTing on Alpha ETHERWATCH.MAR The source code ETHERWATCH.MEM The documentation ETHERWATCH.PACKAGE_NAME Used by BUILD_IMAGE ETHERWATCH.RNO Raw RUNOFF input version of the manual ETHERWATCH.TITLE_PAGE A title page for the manual ETHERWATCH_CLD.CLD Command definition used by ETHERWATCH MAKE_DOC.COM Used to generate the manual NODELIST.DAT A sample nodelist file DBSSYSRTL.EXE Used by the utilities. Either define a logical or dump this in SYS$SHARE. DBSSYSRTL_TV.EXE A VESTed copy of DBSSYSRTL.EXE. DBSSYSRTL.OLB SYS_OBJECTS.OLB Non-sharable version of DBSSYSRTL. SYS_MACROS.MLB Macros used by the utilities. BUILD_IMAGE.COM Used to build images from the included source. Make sure LNK$LIBRARY points to DBSSYSRTL. (Note: check the dcl for parameters/options.) ETHER_STAT.COM Some DCL and Perl scipt supplied by ETHER_STAT.PL Jerome Lauret. Read them to see how to ETHER_TYPES.DAT use them.
