If you are looking for a GUI tool to convert a file from BER or PER to XML, then the latest version of OSS ASN-1Step will do this without your needing to write any code. Another option: Using the OSS ASN.1 Tools, if you wish to write a simple program to convert from BER or PER to XML all you have to do, literally, are three calls: ossDecode(....); // Decode from BER or PER to internal format ossSetEncodingRules(world, OSS_XER); ossEncode(....); // Encode from internal format to XML It is that easy. The output from the ossEncode() will be an XML document that you can then write to a file, display or whatever. If you specify the -xsl option the OSS ASN.1 compiler will generate a default XML stylesheet that allows you to easily customize how the XML document is displayed. You can also specify -dtd to instruct the compiler to generate an XML DTD that many 3rd party XML tools use for validation. If you have product-specific questions please send them to the vendor, in this case [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bancroft Scott Toll Free :1-888-OSS-ASN1 OSS Nokalva International:1-732-302-0750 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tech Support :1-732-302-9669 x-1 1-732-302-9669 x-200 Fax :1-732-302-0023 http://www.oss.com
