AW: Re: [SNMP4J] cannot print out date properly

[Sam Chen]

Hi Frank,
   Why some of the DisplayString shows correctly like
Device Description, and some don't, like Interface
Description.  Is there any way to format these values
without using JASMI?  I am only encountering two types
of values not showing proper formatted string, and I
don't want to use JASMI just to format these two
values correctly.  Any thoughts Frank?
