                   Appellants appeal the Examiner's final rejection of claims 20-22, 24, 27 and 30.1          
            Because the issues are not ripe for appeal, we remand.                                            

                   1  Claims 13-14 and 16 to 18 are pending in the present application and have been indicated as
            containing allowable subject matter by the Examiner.  (Answer, p. 2).
