  3. Where should I put my MIB files?
  4. What does "Cannot find module (XXX-MIB)" mean?
  5. I'm getting answers, but they're all numbers. Why?
  6. What does "unlinked OID" mean?
  7. The parser doesn't handle comments properly. Why not?
  8. How can I get more information about problems with MIB files?
  9. What's this about "too many imported symbols"?
  10. Do I actually need the MIB files?
