               said processor means including means for associating

          The examiner relies on the following references:                            
          Peters, Jr. (Peters)          4,266,214          May  05, 1981              
          Klose                         4,324,402          Apr. 13, 1982              
          Claims 13-19, 23, 30-32 and 34-44 stand rejected under                      
          35 U.S.C. § 103.  As evidence of obviousness the examiner                   
          offers Peters and Klose taken together.                                     
          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the                        
          examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for                
          the respective details thereof.                                             
          OPINION                                                                     
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on                          
          appeal, the rejection advanced by the examiner and the                      
          evidence of obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support
