The SMI MIBs are defining the SMI language itself. So when
using the extracted MIBs like SNMPv2-SMI, SNMPv2-CONF, etc.
you face a hen and egg problem.

Ok, shortly said, you just have to remove (or comment out)
everything that describes the SMI language itself. Especially
the ASN.1 MACRO definitions.

To make it easier using AgentGen 1.4a, I will put together
a set of standard MIBs, that can be downloaded from 
http://www.fock.de/agent++ soon.

No, AgentGen parses any SMIv1 or SMIv2 conform MIB, but it
won't parse ASN.1 MACROS.

Because our email system here at Marconi Communication Software
Systems is going to be changed on 28 July, the AgentGen email service 
does not work as reliable as it used to be. I do not even know
if I can run it after the 28 July at all.
