          Appeal No. 96-2383                                                          
          Application 08/217,418                                                      


          from said buffer means, to thereby discontinuously output the               
          data contained in the selected file.                                        


               The following references are relied on by the examiner:                
          Kondo                    5,177,720                Jan. 5, 1993              
          Yamauchi et al.                                                             
          (Yamauchi)               5,243,582                Sep. 7, 1993              
                                             (filed July 2, 1991)                     
               Claims 6 to 9 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as               
          being anticipated by Yamauchi.  Claim 10 stands rejected under              
          35 U.S.C. § 103.  As evidence of obviousness, the examiner                  
          relies upon Yamauchi in view of Kondo.                                      
               Rather than repeat the positions of the appellant and the              
          examiner, reference is made to the brief and the answer for                 
          the respective details thereof.                                             


                                       OPINION                                        
               Essentially for the reasons set forth by appellant at                  
          pages 4 through 7 of the brief, we reverse the rejection of                 
          claims                                                                      
          6 through 9 as being anticipated by Yamauchi.  As such, we                  
          also reverse the rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claim 10                


                                          3
