Hi Tom,
Per earlier comments from David Perkins, please do NOT move all
the attribute descriptions up before the BEGIN statement. Just
make them all into ASN.1 comment lines in place (with "--" in
column 1), and remember to wrap a close-quote around the last
line of the general DESCRIPTION clause (in '...AttributeTypeTC').
Otherwise, an 'mstrip' output will remove all the attribute
descriptions (NOT good).
No, I didn't have any trouble running 'mstrip' on your posted
version.
Also, I forgot to further pursue the Epilogue warning on the
assignment in the MODULE-IDENTITY macro. I'll try to get back
to this later this week or next week, as soon as I can.
Cheers,
- Ira

Looks like I should move all the DESCRIPTION of each of the attributes
up front before the BEGIN into the section on attributes, since I got the
same error with SMICng on my Sun workstation. Since I have the
enum numbers duplicated in the description, the reader can still find each
attribute easily by the number and the table of contents and index will
refer to the moved section.
By the way, did you have any difficulty removing the headers and footers
from the .txt version with the MSTRING program distributed with SMICng on the
PC? The version of mstring on the Sun was unable to strip the headers from
the .txt version that I posted. My test compile was with a previous version
that differed only in formatting.

I got it too, but I figured it was some problem with the Epilogue compiler,
but if you see a problem, let us know.

Yes, I discovered this too, so I need to make the right margin 1.4 inches
wide, instead of 1.3 (left, top, and bottome = 0.0). It looks like MS-WORD
now places the center of the character inside the margin, not the right
edge of the character. Strange.
