Are there online copies of the ASN.1 and BER specifications (which I
believe are likewise ISO8824 and 8825 as well as x208 and x209)? The
ccitt-standards tree (found with archie) has a very short file for
each of these (1992/x/x208.asc). 
	If the specs themselves are not online, are there descriptions
of the protocols anywhere else? (wais-searching the RFCs didn't find
anything but footnote references.) I'm not looking for an
implementation, just the protocol description.
	Failing the above (and thus expressing disappointment at the
European networking standards process, especially when compared to the
IETF process) how does one order the specs? Are they included
(verbatim) in any books?
	Thanks for any pointers you can provide; I'll summarize later.
