Some SNMP tools assume that the names of MIB is the same as the filename.
This is mainly for IMPORTs. Notably Lumos and libsmi.
 
Attached is a unix shell script to create a subdirectory of links 
to the conventionally named files, and a tar file with the 
named according to their MIB name.
This is primitive in that it assumes that the DEFINITIONS keyword is on the
same line as the MIB name. (Most of the carrieraccess MIBs aren't).
 
The tool has a side effect in that it identifies MIBs with conflicting
names, typically caused by having obsoleted versions of files. (Not always
though, e.g. DS1-MIB has changed its name!)
 
Example usage:

rfc2494-DS0-MIB.asnv2        rfc2496-DS3-MIB.asnv2
[dhorton@Breitling fred]$ link_MIBs.sh
