Traps & Subagents

After looking at the various examples there appears to be a couple of ways 
to send traps:

- via the NotificationOriginator classes 'generate' funciton (which is what 
all of the non-agentx examples do), and,

- via the SubAgentXMib classes 'notfiy' funciton (which is what the agentx 
example does).

In the subagent example it has a section of code that has been commented out 
and says "do not use NotificationOriginator in a subagent".

However, using AgentGen (standard edition) this generates classes based on 
NotificationOriginator for traps in the subagents MIB.

Am I correct in assuming then that the classes generated here should not be 
used in subagents?

If I am correct then it's a shame since there's code that checks the vbs 
that are sent out by the 'generate' function.

If I'm wrong how are they used?  Or basically what is the method of sending 
traps from subagents?

Thanks,
Mike
