  Description     : Allows to decode and encode any protocols one specifies

>From the web page:

"The main use is probably to test networks applications: you
can construct packets by hand and test the behavior of your
program when facing some strange packets. But you can image
a lot of other application: e.g. manipulating graphical
file or executable headers. Just describe the specification
of the structured data.

GASP is divided in two parts: a compiler which take the
specification of the protocols and generate the code to
handle it, this code is a new Tcl command as GASP in build
upon Tcl/Tk and extends the scripting facilities provided by
Tcl."

Too sad, that it's not using C or Python...
