[MIB Explorer] MIB Explorer v1.7 Released

[Frank Fock]

Dear MIB Explorer Users,

MIB Explorer  v1.7 is now available for download from
http://www.mibexplorer.com/mibexplorer.zip

This version adds snapshot support. Snapshots can be taken
from the browse panel and the mib tree, thus from the whole
agent, sub-trees or a set of sub-trees event from different
targets. A snapshot can be saved to a file and later browsed
with the snapshot browser.
The snapshot browser allows to restore values to a target.
Last but not least, snapshots can be visually compared.

KNOWN ISSUES

There seems to be a problem in or with JavaHelp 2.0 in conjunction
with Java 2SE 5. This problem is further investigated...

  values was not correct, if those sub-indexes were of
