    ;  The XML returned by AsnToXml will be compact and not pretty-formatted.

        ProcedureReturn

    success = CkXml::ckLoadXml(xml,strXml)

    ;  This is formatted better for human viewing:
    Debug CkXml::ckGetXml(xml)

    ;  Now get the ASN.1 in base64 format.  Any encoding supported
    ;  by Chilkat can be passed, such as "hex", "uu", "quoted-printable", "base32", "modbase64", etc.
