          Application No. 08/000,342                                                  


          by the examiner and the appellant regarding the above-noted                 
          rejections, we make reference to the examiner's answer (Paper               
          No. 16, mailed October 16, 1995) for the examiner's complete                


          reasoning in support of the rejections, and to the appellant's              
          brief (Paper No. 13, filed February 24, 1995).                              


                                       OPINION                                        
               In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given                 
          careful consideration to the appellant's specification and                  
          claims, and to the respective positions articulated by the                  
          appellant and the examiner.  As a consequence of our review,                
          we make the determinations which follow.                                    
               We turn first to the examiner’s rejection under 35 U.S.C.              
          § 112, second paragraph, of claims 5 and 7 through 9, as being              
          indefinite for failing to particularly point out and                        
          distinctly claim the subject matter which applicant regards as              
          the invention.  The examiner states:                                        
                         It’s not clear how tags are used in                          
                    the trap processing to enable the                                 
                    generation of a precise interrupt during                          
                    compilation and permit re-execution.  The                         
                    link between the limitations in the
