Hi,

	I've got a quick ASN.1 question that I hope someone can answer for me.
I'm trying to define a bounded array of OCTETs using ASN.1 syntax and I wonder
if the following is the ``correct'' way to accomplish this:

----------------------------------------
Foo DEFINITIONS ::=
BEGIN
	Version-number ::= SEQUENCE SIZE (5) OF OCTET
END
----------------------------------------

In other words, Version-number defines a type that represents a chunk of space
5 OCTETs in length.  Are there other ways of accomplishing the same thing?

	Thanks,
	
		Doug
