New VDA SNACC Delivered

["Pawling, John" <jsp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

VDA has delivered a new release of the freeware SNACC ASN.1 Compiler and
Library that VDA has enhanced to support the Distinguished Encoding Rules
(DER).  This release fixes all known bugs (see below) in the previous
release.  We encourage all feedback related to the SNACC software.  The new
release is stored on the Fortezza Developer's S/MIME Page 
(http://www.armadillo.huntsville.al.us/software/smime).  It will also be
posted on the VDA S/MIME Freeware Library (SFL) Page
(http://www.jgvandyke.com/services/infosec/sfl.htm).

Enhancements included in the new release:

1) Fixes bug to enable objects to be encoded/decoded of size limited only by
the system resources.

2) Includes files required to build SNACC DLL used with v1.1 SFL.

3) Fixes bug in baseline SNACC code that deleted trailing zeroes from object
identifier values.  

4) Fixes SM_Buffer (sm_buffer.cpp) bug: Updated write/binary open, and
buffer read size for performance.

5) Fixes SM_Buffer (sm_buffer.cpp) bug: Changed fopen("w") to
fopen(SM_FOPEN_WRITE) to allow proper writes of files with linefeed to not
be improperly modified with carriage-return/linefeed.  

6) Fixes SM_Buffer (sm_buffer.cpp) bug: Enhanced to handle streaming method
modes for buffers.
