[comp.protocols.iso] ISO standards sources...

ta-aca@cunixd.cc.columbia.edu (Andrew C. Athan) (12/04/90)

I am very ineterested in getting the ASN.1 ISO standard specs (both the
language spec and the encoding spec.)  I believe they are numbers 8825 and
8826.  I have no idea where to get them.  Could you please inform this poor
naive soul?

PS:  I would very much like machine readable stuff as-well-as/instead-of
paper.

(Direct mail a reply if you would, since I don't often read this newsgroup
... I will be checking for an answer to this post, but I don't want to miss
anything important :-)  Thanks)

I have just read what I believe is the first copy in North America
of Doug Steedman's "ASN.1 The Tutorial and Reference"

This may be what you are looking for.  The book gives a very good
overview of ASN.1, the background and possible future standards
in the area. The only small downside I could find is that the book
is a little lean on the Basic Encoding Rules.

The book is available from the PSC Institute at (613) 731-7697.

I think the ISO numbers are incorrect.
ISO 8824 : Specification of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)
ISO 8825 : Specification of basic encoding rules for Abstract Syntax
Notation One (ASN.1)
