Hi Ron,

Actually they've been separated into two files for several weeks now
(because I pointed out to Rick that most compilers would stop at
the first ASN.1 "END" statement).  Try compiling one after the other
(in the same command line):

  skeleton-final-tc.mib
  skeleton-final-mib.mib

Cheers,
- Ira
