             Appeal No. 1999-2714                                                                                         
             Application No. 08/504,562                                                                                   


                    character in said file, and creating a second window segment token for                                
                    said second window segment by adjusting the base window segment token                                 
                    to reflect the deletion of the first character of said base window segment                            
                    and the addition of said next character in said file in forming the second                            
                    window segment.                                                                                       

                    101.     A method for producing a token table from a computer data file in a                          
                    memory media, the method comprising, for each of a plurality of fixed                                 
                    length segments in the data file, the steps of:                                                       
                    (a) generating a first hashing representation for the segment;                                        
                    (b) generating a second hashing representation for the segment; and                                   
                    (c) concatenating said first and second hashing representations into a                                
                    segment representation.                                                                               

                    The prior art of record relied upon by the examiner in rejecting the appealed                         
             claims are as follows:
