          Appeal No. 97-2466                                        Page 17           
          Application No. 08/461,943                                                  


          intermediate representation of the source program; and                      
          defining a pseudo reference instruction for selected variables              
          at said selected point in said first intermediate                           
          representation of the source program.”  In short, the claim                 
          specifies two types of pseudo operations, viz., a pseudo store              
          instruction and a pseudo reference instruction.                             


               Similar to claim 2, claim 13 specifies in pertinent part               
          “means for generating a pseudo store instruction for a                      
          selected variable at said selected point in said first                      
          intermediate representation of the source program.”  Also                   
          similar to claim 2, claim 14 specifies in pertinent part                    
          “means for defining a pseudo reference instruction for a                    
          selected variable at said selected point in said first                      
          intermediate representation of the source program.”  In short,              
          claims 13 and 14 specify a pseudo store instruction and a                   
          pseudo reference instruction, respectively.                                 


               The examiner admits, “Pyster does not teach inserting a                
          pseudo operation ....,” (Final Rejection at 3), of any sort.                
          As aforementioned regarding claims 1 and 11, Cordy discloses
