If you need to change the protocol stack used to interpret a
capture file and the framing is different in the new stack, you
need to reframe in order for the protocol decode to be correct. See
Reframing on page 39

Recreate
Companion File
This option is available when you are working with decoders. If
you change a decoder while working with data, you can recreate
the ".frm file", the companion file to the ".cfa file". Recreating the
".frm file" helps ensure that the decoders will work properly.
