Argus 2.0 wishes

	An additional 2.0 wish (and a 1.8 question!):

I'd like to see counts added to the icmp type. Currently we don't get an 
indication (or I don't know how to query it if we do) for ICMP flows:

Thu 03/09 05:52:28  F  icmp  203.108.46.136       <->  142.58.230.123       1      1                          ECO

	I've got a packet count, but no indication of how many bytes were in 
the packet (from the fragementation flag one would assume >1500 or a restricted
MTU somewhere but would like to know which).

	Then there is a 1.8 question:

Thu 03/09 05:52:25 frag  ip  203.108.46.136        ->  142.58.230.123 54016 pk  1  ex    0  ob  156  max  156 TIM

	What do the various fields in this frag mean? It doesn't seem to be 
in the ra man page (and the source while obviously a source of the information
is a likely to be a little time consuming). I expect these are the packets 
that Neil is referring to when he says the perl script doesn't pick up 
fragments (which indeed it won't because there are no obvious counts here and
this may not even be in the parsing script yet).
