                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final                 
          rejection (Paper No. 7, mailed July 2, 1998) of claims 1, 3,                
          6-8, 11-23 and 25.  Claims 4, 5, 10 and 24 were indicated to                
          be rejected on the summary page of the final rejection,                     
          however, no rejection of claims 4, 5, 10 and 24 was included                
          in the final rejection.  Accordingly, claims 4, 5, 10 and 24                
          are not before us in this appeal and the status of those                    
          claims is unclear from the record.  Claims 2 and 9 have been                
          canceled.
