Hi Bob, 

Thank you for the helpful reply. I have looked at the files you have
mentioned and am a little confused about something. 

For example (secoid.c lines 34-35):
/* USGov algorithm OID space: { 2 16 840 1 101 } */
#define USGOV                   0x60, 0x86, 0x48, 0x01, 0x65

In this snippet, the OID appears to be 2.16.840.1.101. However, the hex
translation does not equal the decimal string because 0x60, 0x86, and 0x48
do not translate to 2, 16, 840 respectively, but 0x1 and 0x65 do convert to
1 and 101. Clearly I am missing something here  in how to convert between
the two.

I am also waiting to hear back from my supervisor as to whether or not I can
disclose the OID and its purpose. 

Thanks again,
Jim
