+Q: I've tried doing ./asn1c/asn1c -P examples/*PKIX*93*, but compiler spits
+ several fatal failures and exits.
+A:
+ The PKIX1 specifications uses ASN.1 Information Object Classes,
+ which is arguably one of the most complex ASN.1 concepts.
+
+ The asn1c parser and fixer subsystems currently understand most of
+ IOC syntax, but the compiler can cope with only the very basic
+ IOC semantics.
+
+ The goal of asn1c is to adequately support the practically necessary
+ subset of IOCs to compile PKIX1 and other real-world specs,
+ but this milestone isn't yet reached. Please contact me in case
+ you have special requirements, we can work it out.
+
+ P.S. Parser and fixer are now able to grok PKIX1, try this out:
+
+ ./asn1c/asn1c -E -F examples/*PKIX*93*
