AW: [MIB Explorer] Questions about compiing MIB definition files

[fock at agentpp.com]

Hello Jos,

As indicated in the FAQ, ASN.1 MACROs are not part
of the SMI language. SNMP MIB module specifications
must be written in SMI. That's why the compiler 
complains about ASN.1 MACROS. 

When you download version 2.0.6 (from today), 
all standard modules with that use ASN.1 to define
SMI are built-in. You will still get the errors
if you try to compile MIBs with ASN.1 macros but
correct MIB modules referencing those "boot" MIB
modules like RFC-1212 etc. will compile without
an error.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Frank
