23You should extract the TAP-0311 ASN.1 module from one of these .DOC files
24and save it as the ../tap3.asn1 file. The ../tap3.asn1 file should start with
25the following line
26 "TAP-0311 DEFINITIONS IMPLICIT TAGS ::="
27and end with the "END" token.
28Be careful not to copy any non-ASN.1 preambles from that .DOC file.
