No, because it isn't part of the standard SNMP protocol, so it isn't included.
However, it would probably be a good idea to put it in as and option for the
user to enable.

I know Dave Shield implemented some proposed EOS extensions a while back.
Dave, what happened to that code? Was GETCOLS part of what you implemented?

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.

Sort-of.
It's a long time ago now, but my recollection is that I implemented
the GETCOLS "end-of-column" behaviour, but not DP's proposed OID
compression mechanism. Instead, my EOS extensions implemented one
(or possibly both?) of the two generic compression algorithms.

The code is now *very* out of date (from 2002, based on 5.0.3),
but it's still available as
http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~daves/eos.tgz

No support whatsoever :-)

Dave
