[erlang-questions] how: instatiate a parameterized ASN.1 type

[Bertil Karlsson]

Hi,

The first parameter of the ROS type must be an ASN1-valueset, the second 
and third must be ASN1-objectset parameters. The asn1- compiler lacks 
some features in the area of Parameterized Types and Information Objects 
that we may extend in a future release.
