          Application 08/071,049                                                      


               Representative claim 15 is reproduced below:                           
               15.  A server extension for use in a computer system                   
          having a host computer for executing application programs,                  
          screen means for displaying text or graphic figures, at least               
          one application program executing on said host computer for                 
          generating output protocol requests, a controlling application              
          program executing on said host computer for generating inputs               
          and extension protocol requests, a server comprising a portion              
          of memory having addressable locations and a plurality of                   
          server routines each having an address, said server having                  
          performance characteristics that are variable over a range,                 
          said server receiving said inputs, transferring said inputs to              
          said application program, receiving said output protocol                    
          requests and transferring said output protocol requests to                  
          said screen means, said server extension comprising:                        
               an extension portion of memory directly connected to said              
          controlling application program for creating a record of said               
          performance characteristics for use in evaluating whether said              
          performance characteristics are within an acceptable range by               
          monitoring one of said server and said application program,                 
          said extension portion formatting display of said text or                   
          graphic figures on said screen means;                                       
               said extension portion of memory having specific memory                
          locations for data storing that correspond to specific memory               
          locations in said server portion of memory;                                 
               a plurality of extension routines each having an address,              
          each of said extension routines corresponding to one of said                
          server routines;                                                            
               said addresses for said plurality of server routines                   
          being stored in said extension portion of memory and said                   
          addresses for said plurality of extension routines being                    
          stored in said server portion of memory;                                    




                                          2
