Thanks for the tip. The code is already written (and working) using OpenSSLs ASN1 macros. I just want to stop patching OpenSSL in order to deal with OIDs not contained within OpenSSL. Using a new tool would probably mean that I will have to rewrite quite a lot of code. That's why I will try Steve's suggestions first. If I fail I'll have a look at the ASN1 compiler you suggested. Again, thanks for the help, Dominik -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk5o0/wACgkQ8RP9uQqpDVTe4ACfVb/yHExWm5tfVV+UXJMCefES +YkAn0VjUJesMHmUbUc2jG5f5FX8kC6A =drw6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
