OK, will do. DS> I'm in two minds as to whether the netsnmp_variable_list field DS> is worth keeping or not.... I'm with you on that one. It is a bit redundant to have both at the same time. The table helper does the same thing. In both cases, a flag and a union would have probably been better. The netsnmp_index has the advantage in terms of speed and searching, but variable list is probably a little easier for the users to understand. So maybe remove the variable list, and add an api that lets users pass a their own varbind, which will be internally converted to a netsnmp_index? And a corresponding function to convert the netsnmp_indes into a user supplied varbind? -- NOTE: messages sent directly to me, instead of the lists, will be deleted unless they are requests for paid consulting services.
