the unique file that introduces server and client data.

@end itemize

@unnumbered 28/08/04 0.1.24
@itemize
@item
BSD support _should_ be completed
@item
added ``suicide'' and ``fault'' functions

@item
added INTERNALS file (should be completed)
@end itemize

@unnumbered 03/06/04 0.1.23
@itemize
@item
PFLOG support added by kirash aka GLS
@item
patch by Sebastian Prause: 
``I've created a little patch to make tcpick work with pppoe interfaces
on NetBSD (which use DLT_PPP_ETHER) and wanted to share it, so here it
is...''
@item
now the options for displaying the payload should be prefixed by -y
I have added another set of displaying option, that are prefixed
with -b. The -b options are useful to view data only when acknowledged
(exactly like data written to files) and with this is particulary
useful the raw mode (-bR) that you can use if you want to redirect
data with a pipe to another software.
@item
The newline carachter is suppressed when displaying the payload of the
packet or an acknowledged stream in the case there are no banners
except the case of the hexdump's.
@item
Added the ``--pipe'' option, by a wish of loopback. See manpage for
details.
@item
Now you are able to choose to write to file only data of clients or
servers or both, with the additional flags `C' and `S' to the option
`-w' (omitted means ``both'').
@item
Many, many changes, code cleanups and improvement made by whyx in
fragments.c and lookup.c
@item
With the new option `-T<number>', it is now possible to
track only the first <number> connections, the following will be
discarded by the tracker engine. This is useful for the `-w' and `-b'
options; for `-y' and `-h' it has no effect, because they aren't part
of the tracker.
@item
In the hexdump+ascii red dots rapresents now the unprintable carachter.
@item
the lenght of the payload is now displayed in the packet banner
@item
rewritten the core of verify.c and fragments.c
@item
now connections with equal ip addresses and ports are stored in
different files
@item
files dumped with tcpick -w* options are now saved vith ``.tcpick''
extension
@item
bugfix on datalink.c by kirash aka GLS
@item 
deleted alloc.c and match.c
@item 
used the ``linux'' 8-spaces indentation
@item
added packet separator (by a Simone Gianni's wish)
@item
added the `-p' flag to avoid to put the network interface in
promiscuous mode (I'm not sure it works) (by a Simone Gianni's wish)
@item
Rewritten manpage. Read it! There are lots of changes in the options!
@item
I have tested tcpick to sniff a file via ftp, and the md5sums were
equal. The tar.gz archive I have downloaded was more than 2MB
long. Other tests are confirming me that the newly-written code works
in the right way.
