Yup. Retix produce several ISO packages, including an X.409 (well ASN.1
actually) compiler/parser/encoder/decoder. In addition you can get this stuff
absolutely free as some guys at Northrop have produced a package called
ISODE (ISO Development Environment) which include lots of stuff for lots of the
ISO layers, including layer 6. The bad news is I can't remember the address
of these guys, however, in the UK try University College London - someone
at the computing department, as for the US, I dunno - a similar approach may
bear fruit.

In my own opinion, the ISODE stuff is better than the Retix stuff. (NOTE this
is my opiniion, not necessarily that of my company).

Hope this has been of some help - Paul.
