Michael,

If you tried to learn it back that far, I don't think that it was even part
of the language at that point in time.  

Just a quick note on the module that Russ provided.  The import for the CMS
module is incorrect.  It should be:

     FROM CryptographicMessageSyntax-2010  -- [RFC6268]
       { iso(1) member-body(2) us(840) rsadsi(113549)
         pkcs(1) pkcs-9(9) smime(16) modules(0)
          id-mod-cms-2009(58) }

jim

okay.
It's something I once tried to learn, back in 1995, and I got as far as the
trivial stuff, but that was all.

I will incorporate your module into the clarifications document.
