+Q: How to build a simplest BER (XER) encoder or decoder?
+A:
+
+	Please see "Examples" section of ./doc/asn1c-usage.pdf
+
+	Also, try the following to build the X.509v3 parser:
+
+		cd ./examples/sample.source.PKIX1
+		make
+		./x509dump -h

 Q: Your compiler supplies a der_encode() procedure. How do I encode BER?
 A:
 	The DER (and CER) are stricter subsets of a more generic BER encoding

-Q: I've tried doing ./asn1c/asn1c -P examples/*PKIX*93*, but compiler spits
-   several fatal failures and exits.
-A:
-	The old (RFC2459) PKIX1 specifications used ASN.1 Information Object
-	Classes, which is arguably one of the most complex ASN.1 concepts.
-
-	The asn1c parser and fixer subsystems currently understand most of
-	IOC syntax, but the compiler can cope with only the very basic
-	IOC semantics.
-
-	The goal of asn1c is to adequately support the practically necessary
-	subset of IOCs to compile PKIX1 and other real-world specs,
-	but this milestone isn't yet reached. Please contact me in case
-	you have special requirements, we can work it out.
-
-	However, the asn1c compiler is able to understand the newer PKIX1
-	ASN.1 specs, contained in RFC3280, which obsoletes RFC2459.
-	To compile the sample X.509 certificate dump utility, try this out:
-
-		cd ./examples/sample.source.PKIX1
-		make
-		./x509dump -h
