Download FAQ

The following are frequently asked questions and answers about downloading the ASN1C evaluation software:

Q. When I click on the link nothing happens or I get garbage. Why?
A. It could be because your browser settings are not set to allow the file types to be automatically downloaded via HTTP. If this is the case, you can right click on the links and select "Save Target As..." in Internet Explorer or "Save Link As..." in Netscape to download the files. Other browser types should have a similar option.

Q. I downloaded the Java version for Solaris, but when I try to untar, I get a checksum error. What is the reason for this?
A. The Solaris tar utility program cannot handle pathnames over 100 characters in length. We recommend that you do the following:
  1. Download the 'gtar-solaris-4.1.4-sparc.gz' utility from the following link: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/os-solaris.html
  2. gunzip this file
  3. rename to gtar (mv gtar-solaris-4.1.4-sparc gtar)
  4. chmod +x gtar
  5. move gtar to a directory within the PATH such as /usr/local/bin

You will then be able to use gtar to untar the distribution file.


Q. I have a very slow Internet connection and the file sizes are quite large. Is there any other way to get the evaluation software?
A. We may be able to send the files via E-mail to you or send you a CD. In the case of a CD, a nominal charge for preparation and shipping may be required. Please contact us at support@obj-sys.com and we will see what we can do.

Q. If we license the software, do we need to download again?
A. If you purchase run-time libraries with unlimited binary redistribution or source code, you will need to download the run-time package for that configuration. Otherwise, the evaluation software can be used with the permanent license.

Q. What if I want to evaluate both the C/C++ and Java versions?
A. Then download both versions and install both to the same base directory. The result will be a compiler installation with C, C++, and Java run-time directories.

Q. My operating system / compiler combination does not exist in the download options provided on your web-site. Can I get an evaluation version for my system?
A. ASN1C has been ported to many operating environments. We have only listed the most popular environments on our site. Please contact us at support@obj-sys.com with your requirements and we will see if we can build a special version for your system.
