          Application No. 08/399,384                                                  


                                       APPENDIX                                       
               8.  A polymeric film structure having an enhanced oxygen               
          barrier produced by the process comprising:                                 
               coating at least one side of a polymeric substrate adapted             
          for receipt of an oxygen barrier with a solution of poly(vinyl              
          alcohol), formaldehyde-containing crosslinking agent and                    
          crosslinking-promoting acid catalyst, said solution having a pH             
          of about 3.5 or less, and                                                   
               wherein said acid catalyst is selected from the group                  
          consisting of phosphoric acid, nitric acid and hydrochloric                 
          acid.                                                                       
               17.  A method of producing a film structure having an                  
          enhanced oxygen barrier layer adhered thereto, comprising:                  
               coating at least one side of a polymeric substrate adapted             
          for receipt of an oxygen barrier with a solution of poly (vinyl             
          alcohol), formaldehyde-containing crosslinking agent and                    
          crosslinking-promoting acid catalyst, said solution having a pH             
          of about 3.5 or less, and                                                   
               wherein said acid catalyst is selected from the group                  
          consisting of phosphoric acid, nitric acid and hydrochloric                 
          acid.
