Thanks, I got it working.
It turns out that the "f" option is missing from the list of options available in "main.c" at
line #139
#ifdef WIN32
//theOpts = "ce:F:hr:p:i:nw:m:b:B:D:s:P:R:S:gt:a:W:12";
theOpts = "ce:f:F:hr:p:i:nw:m:b:B:D:s:P:R:S:gt:a:W:12";

I added it back in and now it reads dumps.

Sessions problem!
Reading a small dump file turns out to be an excellent demonstration of the session loss problem
that has crept into NTOP sometime in the March-April time frame.
Read a dump file with a session. If you check under IPPROTOS/SESSIONS quickly, you'll see the
session. However, after an internal cycle, (30 seconds or so), the session gets wiped out.
