UI design history?

Hi all, I'm currently taking a class on Human-Computer Interaction, and I'm going to be writing my term paper on Wireshark's UI. The meat of the paper is going to be on the current interface and application of various theoretical frameworks, but I thought it would be useful (and kind of neat) if I could include a brief history of why the current UI is what it is. I remember reading (on this list, I think) an explanation that the UI of pretty much all modern sniffers is derived from the first such program which was originally for DOS-era systems. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find the original message or any references to such a program. Wikipedia contains a tantalizing reference to Network General's "Sniffer" program, but any real details seem to have been lost in the mists of time. If anybody has links or personal knowledge they'd be willing to share I would much appreciate it. Thanks, Evan ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
