Re: ASN.1 Tools/Compilers
Not to toot my own horn, but take a look at
http://ests.bbn.com for a free ASN.1 to C++ compiler that runs on
solaris 1 and 2 and has been ported (with relatively little effort)
to Windows. Free for non-commercial use. Commercial use terms
have unrestricted rights for runtime.
