Thank you, Burton, for clarification. The choice of cat-ing is not an option, though, as the whole problem started the other way around: the initial trace file was too big, and my MacOSX' ntop install won't work with it (file too large, or something like that ...), which forced me to create smaller files, in the hope that I can "feed" ntop one file at a time ...
