Well if they are already finished and ready for submission, there
is not much to do about it, then my suggestion is too late.
Please just submit them as they are.
(If need be someone might convert them at a later stage to port them over to
the pacekt-ber api)
I will look to do this next, but need to get the curent dissectors
submitted.
Do consider to use packet-ber and the ASN2ETH compiler for any future
protocols you implement, it is much better.
packet-ber might not implement indefinite length yet, basically
because no one using packet-ber has had any need for this construct
yet.
This can be added to packet-ber as needed.
This will be critical for the ISO 9506 disector. I already figured out
the extension required for ASN1.C and have already supplied it.
How big are these protocols? Can you post a specification for them?
Maybe they can be machinegenerated by ASN2ETH?
these are large and there is no machine readable form available.

Unfortunately, it was not clear in 0.10.3. I have 5 dissectors ready to
submit based upon an extended ASN1.C. It does not appear that the BER
module handles indefinite length either?

Hi,
ASN1.C is the old obsolete API to handle BER/DER encoded protocols.
Please do not base any new dissectors on this,
The new API for BER/DER encoded protocols is packet-ber and the
asn2eth compilers.
All new protocols should use packet-ber
one by one all existing dissectors using ans1.c will be converted to
packet-ber and then asn1.c will be removed

A little history:
The ISO-9506 (MMS) protocol is an ASN1 BER encoded protocol that is
emerging for use within the electric utility industry as IEC 61850. I
