          Application 08/977,519                                                      


               a)  providing on a client computer a computer operating                
          system having an icon to be accessed displayed on a screen, the             
          icon providing links to an executable program of and information            
          displayable by said operating system on the client computer;                
               b)  providing a web browser on the client computer operable            
          by said computer operating system and displayable on said screen;           
               c)  determining, for the operating system icon to be                   
          accessed, an executable program linked to said icon, a data file            
          used by said program, and the location of said program and data             
          file;                                                                       
               d)  assigning a HTML tag to the program and data file of               
          said operating system icon to be accessed; and                              
               e)  constructing a web page, viewable on said web browser,             
          of the accessed icon and linked program and data file such that             
          the HTML tag is displayed on said web page and executable by said           
          web browser to execute said program on said operating system.               
               The following reference is relied on by the examiner:                  
          Slivka et al. (Slivka)        6,061,695      May 9, 2000                    
                                             (filing date Dec. 6, 1996)               
               Claims 1-20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  As                  
          evidence of obviousness, the examiner relies upon Slivka alone.             
               Rather than repeat the positions of the appellants and the             
          examiner, reference is made to the briefs and answer for the                
          respective details thereof.
