+1.Q: Is it possible to build the asn1c compiler on Win32?
+1.A:
+ At this point, the asn1c source code is tied to GCC-specific
+ extensions in several key places. The CYGWIN environment with
+ gcc compiler may be what are you looking for.
+ Please also consider using the Online ASN.1 compiler at

+3.Q: Your compiler supplies a der_encode() procedure. How do I encode BER?
+3.A:
The DER (and CER) are stricter subsets of a more generic BER encoding
method. If you encode data with DER or CER, all BER-conformant decoders
will easily understand that. Hence, to encode data in the BER format,
