multifunctional, namely a host PC which both

able to concurrently view the same portion of the

any edits made to the subject computer file by at least
one of the users, and these edits are provided to all

contemporaneously with the inputting of the same.
The Examiner agrees on page 3 of the supplemental answer
that Jakobs does not teach the use of personal computers as the
workstations in the Jakobs system. The Examiner further states
on page 4 of the supplemental answer the following:
Jakobs did not specifically teach that at least one of
the personal computers was to be designated the host
computer for given file editing operations, and having
multi-tasking processing means for coordinating the
execution of said file editing comprising edits of less
than the entire file inputted by at least one of the
users, and for coordinating the transfer of data
corresponding with, and limited to, the file editing
operations form the host computer to the display means
for the others of the plurality of personal computers
whereby the file editing operations and corresponding
limited data transfer are performed in a predetermined
manner by the host computer.
