If you go to my site

Hi,
Some thing that be may be of use is a software product called "ProConvert". It allows the user to change the format of capture files from one analyser type to another. It's made by a competitor to Sniffer "Wildpackets".

I find it particulary useful for changing Snoop dumps and tcpdumps to cap (sniffer) format.

Happy Sniffing

I purchsed Proconvert a few yearsd ago... and I must say that ethereal/tethereal does a much better job in converting trace files.
Editcap is a commandline tool that comes with ethereal.
