      Let me try to be a little more specific:

  
      We will run the ASN.1 code for CMIP/CMIS thru PEPY to create 

      the encoder/decoder code and data structures to be used. These data 

      structures must then be filled in before handing them to the encoder/decoder

      for processing. The problem is that a "USER" process fills in these

      data structures and must pass this message to the process that contains

      the encoder/decoder (SMAE). The "passing" I am talking about is between

      two processes, not the encoded PDU that goes out on the network.
