2017-04-05A bunch of "{Mac} OS X" -> "macOS" changes.Guy Harris1-1/+1
Avoid anachronisms, however; there was no "macOS 10.0" or even "OS X 10.0", for example. It was "Mac OS X" until 10.8 (although 10.7 was sometimes called "OS X" and sometimes called "Mac OS X"), and it was "OS X" from 10.8 to 10.11.

The formatting was mostly AsciiDoc-compliant. Take it the rest of the way. Update the list of supported operating sytems, along with other info. Use HTTPS URLs. Remove README.tru64 while we're here.

svn path=/trunk/; revision=37698
2008-06-25We last supported NT 4.0 with version 0.99.4 (according toGerald Combs1-1/+6
wireshark.nsi, at least). Drop it from the "supported" list and add a note about NT 4.0 and older Windows versions. svn path=/trunk/; revision=25606
2008-06-25We apper to spell it "TShark" rather than "Tshark", the fact that it'sGuy Harris1-32/+31
"Wireshark" rather than "WireShark" nonwithstanding. Say we run on NT 4.0 rather than "NT" - I don't know whether we run on NT 3.x (and 2000/2003/XP are really NT 5.x and Vista/2008 are really NT 6.x - that's why Microsoft are talking about "Windows 7" as the next big release). In the capture-privileges paragraph, note that it's dumpcap that needs to run as root, and suggest not only that Wireshark shouldn't be set-UID root, but that it shouldn't even be run as root, and that the same applies to TShark. Update "How to Report a Bug" to reflect that we're telling people to report bugs on Bugzilla, and that "wireshark -v"/"tshark -v" give almost all the version information we want. svn path=/trunk/; revision=25605

they have LF at the end of the line on UN*X and CR/LF on Windows; hopefully this means that if a CR/LF version is checked in on Windows, the CRs will be stripped so that they show up only when checked out on Windows, not on UN*X. svn path=/trunk/; revision=11400

libpcap format, and say that it's also used by "other tools" (tcpdump and Ethereal/Tethereal aren't the only tools that write captures in that format). Weaken the claim that we read Etherpeek files to say only that we read Etherpeek versions 5, 6, and 7 for Macintosh, so people don't conclude that we read Etherpeek-for-Windows captures (we don't). svn path=/trunk/; revision=4337

examples of errors that generate core dumps, and suggest that a stack trace from the debugger could be useful for *all* failures that produce core dumps.
