Hi,

ASN1.C is the old obsolete API to handle BER/DER encoded protocols.
Please do not base any new dissectors on this,

The new API for BER/DER encoded protocols is packet-ber and the
asn2eth compilers.
All new protocols should use packet-ber


one by one  all existing dissectors using ans1.c  will be converted to
packet-ber and then asn1.c will be removed
