Hi, I must have an old version of OpenSSL. In fact, I was looking for a function with a name similar to what you pointed out. I had found a function called OBJ_txt2nid(), so I figured there would be a OBJ_nid2txt() function or something similar. I looked in objects.h under crypto/objects directory. Is that where it's supposed to be? I'm missing that function. Thanks for your help, though. I really appreciate it.
