          Appeal No. 1997-2382                                                        
          Application 08/287,064                                                      



          lar, Appellant argues that Gries does not disclose or suggest               
          the claimed language of directly encoding a literal source                  
          code macroinstruction into a corresponding subroutine address               
          with- out performing an intermediate step of extracting an op               
          code of said macroinstruction as it is set forth in independ-               
          ent claims 1 and 11.                                                        
                    On page 4 of the answer, the Examiner states that                 
          the basis for the rejection was set forth in paragraphs 4                   
          through 12 of the office action mailed November 2, 1995 (Paper              
          No. 15).  Turning to Paper No. 15, we note that the Examiner                
          argues that Gries teaches directly encoding the source code                 
          into a subroutine address without extracting an op code.  The               
          Examiner points to                                                          




          Gries' page 245, first paragraph, and page 248, "Evaluating                 
          Arithmetic Expressions" section.  Turning to page 245 of                    
          Gries, we fail to find that Gries teaches a means for directly              
          encoding said literal source code macroinstruction into a                   
          corresponding subroutine address without performing an inter-
