          Application 08/259,368                                                      


               processor resource monitor means for testing the status                
          of said processor resources;                                                
               event signal filter means for testing each event signal,               
          and writing to said storage means only that data associated                 
          with a selected subset of event signals.                                    





          The examiner relies on the following references:                            
          Ellsworth               5,072,376              Dec. 10, 1991                
          (filed June 10, 1988)                                                       
          Blasciak                5,103,394              Apr. 07, 1992                
          (filed Dec. 21, 1989)                                                       
          Claims 17-23 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e)                        
          as being anticipated by the disclosure of Blasciak.  Claims                 
          25-30 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  As evidence of                 
          obviousness the examiner offers Blasciak alone with respect to              
          claim 25 and adds Ellsworth with respect to claims 26-30.  A                
          rejection under the second paragraph of 35 U.S.C. § 112 was                 
          withdrawn in the answer.                                                    
          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the                       
          examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for                 
          the respective details thereof.
