Hi everybody,

I am trying to find out how to install new object types in a Quipu 
directory. It seems like all object/entry types/classes are defined in 
the oidtable.[at, gen, oc] files. The representation there however, is 
quite different from the ASN.1 representation used in e.g. Paul Barker's 
doc 'Implementing FTP archive searching using X.500'. How do you 
translate from one to the other? Wich part of the manual describes this?

Regards,
Kjetil.
