<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">New files on the FTP site:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Corrected property group files:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Localization_v03b.xml</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">ThermalFan_v09b.xml</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">SystemController_v04a.xml</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Interface_v01a.xml</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">PowerState_v09a.xml</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">And, finally, new translations from XML to SNMP syntax, for the ten most nearly complete groups. There are two archives:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">xsl-mib-fragments-20070910.zip # the results of translation</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">xsl-mib-translate-20070910.zip # the XSL files, makefile, xalan script, to-do list</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">For each property group, there are three files: </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">foo.tables.mib # table header and entry definitions</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">foo.props.mib # object definitions for all properties, scalar and table</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">foo.enums.mib # Textual Conventions (TCs) for all properties with enumerated values</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Let's take a look at these on the next call. The to-do list contains a number of nits and one real shortcoming (default values) currently, but I think the results are getting close to usable. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Happy reading!</FONT>
