I was actually too quick with my bravo. Although it does indeed decode to -6, it is not a legal encoding since an integer value must always be encoded in the smallest number of octets. That is, although 0204FFFFFFFA clearly means -6, the proper encoding of -6 would be 0201FA. ===================================================================== Conrad Sigona Toll Free : 1-888-OSS-ASN1 OSS Nokalva Voice Mail : 1-732-302-9669 x400 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fax : 1-419-831-5035 http://www.oss.com My direct line : 1-315-845-1773
