    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
