I'm going to add this to the TO-DO list, for such a behaviour is not currently provided by the tool. > Should there not be a tutorial text, which explains the concepts > before each exercise? Sure. The series are specified by way of an XML file, so it can easily be changed. If you have time to write somthing, I'll appreciate it and will add it to the config file. As far as I am concerned, I have too many things in my plate these months to do it. Anthony and I focussed on the tool and tried to put together some series of exercises, but these can definitely be improved. > When I teach ASN.1, I first describe > a feature in words, then give some examples, then give an > exercise.

As I said, this is mainly due to my having to many things to deal with for the ITU-T ASN.1 Project! Thanks again for your comments which are much appreciated. -- Olivier DUBUISSON france telecom R&D DTL/TAL - 22307 Lannion Cedex - France t: +33 2 96 05 38 50 - f: +33 2 96 05 39 45 - http://asn1.elibel.tm.fr/
