               This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final                 
          rejection of claims 1 through 4 and 7 through 18.  Claims 5                 
          and 6 have been canceled.  In an After Final amendment filed                
          April 28, 1997, claim 18 was canceled.  Accordingly, claims 1               
          through 4 and 7 through 17 remain before us on appeal.
