Hi, I was wondering if the ASN.1 specifications from the Z39.50-2003 spec were available online somewhere. I know the PDF of the spec is online (so I could copy and paste out of that), but I was after an authorative copy with all the indentation etc preserved. (Copying out of PDF is a pain as it tends to loose the indentation etc). Note: I am after the *exact* ASN.1 text out of the spec. We support XER, which depends on the precise names used in the ASN.1. A number of changes have occurred in the ASN.1 around the place, the most noteworthy being "Origin/Target" -> "Client/Server" (but there are others!). So I need to check our ASN.1 files carefully against the current official ones to be Z39.50-2003 compatible. I note also the files in the spec have a small number of mistakes (upper case leading letters on a few identifier names, which is not legal ASN.1). I looked on the LOC site but could not find them. Google searches similarly could not find them (easily anyway). I am hoping to release a new Java Z39.50 client library in the near future, which has XER support in it. I wanted to make sure it was XER conformant to the latest spec. I have tried to check our files by hand, but its so easy to miss one. Thanks! Alan
