               Appellant's invention relates to a virtual storage                     
          organization concept providing storage space for parallel program           
          execution in pre-allocated partitions of a virtual address                  
          storage containing shared areas and private areas in several                
          address spaces.                                                             
               Independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                          
               1.  A computer system comprising:                                      
                    a virtual storage; and                                            
                    means for allocating from said virtual storage (a)                
                    a plurality of private storage areas to a                         
                    respective plurality of programs before or at a                   
                    start of execution of the respective programs, (b)                
                    another storage area which is shared by said                      
                    pluralilty of programs, one of said programs                      
                    performing a plurality of jobs, and (c) an                        
                    additional private storage area to said one                       
                    program for one of said jobs at a start of said                   
                    one job subsequent to the start of one program;                   
                    and                                                               
                    means for de-allocating said additional private                   
                    storage area at an end of said job.                               
               The reference relied on by the Examiner is as follows:
