I have the CMU public domain code and am porting it.  There is an
address in the documentation to direct questions to.  The address
given is:  sw01+snmp@andrew.cmu.edu.  I have tried this address in
many different forms (eg. sw01 as #1 and letter l, snmp only etc)
and have had them all returned to me.  Does anyone have the correct
address and/or an answer to the following question.

I read the code and found that the object id's are encoded with the
first 2 subids in a single subid field using (x*40)+y x=1st subid
and y=2nd subid.

I have also read the RFC's and have not found any reference to this.
Am I missing something?  Why are the first 2 ids combined?
