                                    THE REJECTION                                     
               Claims 1-5 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being

                                       OPINION                                        
               We have carefully considered all of the arguments                      
          advanced by appellants and the examiner and agree with                      
          appellants that the aforementioned rejection is not well                    
          founded.  Accordingly, this rejection will be reversed.
