    There is an ASN.1 compiler in ISODE, an openly available (i.e.,
    non-proprietary) implementation of the upper layers of OSI.
    Attached is the announcement for ISODE v3.0 which was released this
    week.

    The next release of the "ISO Development Environment at NRTC" will be
    available on 14 October 1987.  This release is called

				   ISODE 3.0

    This software supports the development of certain kinds of ISO/CCITT/ECMA
    protocols and applications.  Here are the details:

  - ISODE is not proprietary, but it is not in the public domain.  This was
    necessary to include a "hold harmless" clause in the release.  The upshot
    of all this is that anyone can get a copy of the release and do anything
    they want with it, but no one takes any responsibility whatsoever for any
    (mis)use.

  - ISODE runs on native 4.2BSD and SVR2, ROS (the Ridge Operating System),
    and HP-UX.

  - Current modules include:
	ISO transport service (TP0 on top of TCP and X.25)
	ISO session, presentation, and association control services
	ASN.1 abstract syntax/transfer notation and compiler
	ISO/CCITT reliable transfer and remote operations services
	ISO DIS FTAM for Berkeley and AT&T UNIX

  - Although the ISODE is not "supported" per se, it does have a problem
    reporting address, Bug-ISODE@NRTC.NORTHROP.COM.  Bug reports (and fixes)
    are welcome by the way.

  - The discussion group ISODE@NRTC.NORTHROP.COM is used as an open forum on
    ISODE.  Contact ISODE-Request@NRTC.NORTHROP.COM to be added to this list.

  - The primary documentation for this release consists of a three volume
    User's Manual (approx. 450 pages) and a set of UNIX manual pages.  The
    sources to the User's Manual are in LaTeX format.  In addition, there are
    a number of notes, papers, and presentations included in the documentation
    set, again in either LaTeX or SLiTeX format.

For more information, contact:

        Northrop Research and Technology Center
        Attn: Automation Sciences Laboratory (0330/T30)
        One Research Park
        Palos Verdes Peninsula, CA  90274
	USA

        +1-213-544-5393

There are several ways to get a distribution:

    - FTP
    If you can FTP to the DARPA/NSF Internet, you can use anonymous FTP to
    louie.udel.edu [10.0.0.96] and retrieve the file portal/isode-3.tar.  This
    is a 7MB tar image.  The file portal/isode-3.tar.Z is the tar image after
    being run through the compress program (approx. 2.5MB).

    - NIFTP
    If you run NIFTP over the public X.25 or over JANET, and are registered in
    the NRS at Salford, you can use NIFTP with username "guest" and your own
    name as password, to access UK.AC.UCL.CS to retrieve the file
    <SRC>isode-3.tar.  This is a 7MB tar image.  The file <SRC>isode-3.tar.Z
    is the tar image after being run through the compress program (approx.
    2.5MB).

    - NORTH AMERICA
    For mailings in NORTH AMERICA, send a check or invoice for $200 US dollars
    to:

	ISODE Distribution
        Department of Electrical Engineering
	University of Delaware
	Newark, DE  19716
	USA

        +1-302-451-1163

    The tape will be written in tar format at 1600bpi, and returned with a
    documentation set.  Do not send tapes or envelopes.  Documentation only is
    the same price.

    - EUROPE
    For mailings in EUROPE, send a cheque or invoice for 100 pounds sterling
    to:

        Department of Computer Science
        Attn: Soren Sorenson
        University College
        Gower Street
        London, WC1E 6BT
        UK

	+44-1-387-7050  x3680

    The tape will be written in tar format at 1600bpi, and returned with a
    documentation set.  Do not send tapes or envelopes.  Documentation only is
    the same price.

    - AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND
      For mailings in AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND, send a cheque for 50 dollars
      Australian to:  

	Andrew Worsley
	CSIRO DIT
	55 Barry St
	Carlton, 3053
	AU

	+61-3-347-8644

    The tape will be written in tar format at 1600bpi, and returned with a
    documentation set.  Do not send tapes or envelopes.  Documentation only is
    the same price.

    - FTAM on the JANET or PSS
    The sources are available by FTAM at UCL over X.25 using JANET
    (00000511160001) or PSS (23421920030001) with TSEL "256" (ascii encoding).
    Use the "anon" user-identity, supply any password, and retrieve the file
    src/isode-3.tar.  This is a 7MB tar image.  The file src/isode-3.tar.Z is
    the tar image after being run through the compress program (approx. 2.5MB).

    - FTAM on the DARPA/NSF Internet
    The sources are available by FTAM at the University of Delaware over the
    DARPA/NSF Internet at host louie.udel.edu [10.0.0.96] (TCP port 102
    selects the ISO transport service) with TSEL 256 (numeric encoding) or
    with the US GOSIP encoding (TSEL 0001, SSEL 0001, PSEL 0001).  Use the
    "anon" user-identity, supply any password,and retrieve the file
    portal/isode-3.tar.  This is a 7MB tar image.  The file
    portal/isode-3.tar.Z is the tar image after being run through the compress
    program (approx.  2.5MB).  

    In both cases, the file service is provided by the FTAM implementation in
    ISODE 3.0, which is a DIS implementation with a few pieces of critical
    information taken from the IS.

there's something called ISODE from Northrop.  they've advertised on the net
before.  you could also try Retix or Touch.  This is what I saved:
