          Application No. 08/876,030                                                  


                                     CONCLUSION                                       
               To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject                   
          claims 17 to 34 is reversed.  In addition, the application has              
          been remanded to the examiner for further action.                           


               This application, by virtue of its "special" status,                   
          requires immediate action, see MPEP § 708.01 (Seventh Edition,              
          Rev. 1, Feb. 2000).                                                         
                                REVERSED and REMANDED
