          Application 08/137,443

                                   RELATED APPEALS                                    
               On page 3, lines 1 through 8 of their brief, appellants                
          direct our attention to two, related appeals which, according               
          to appellants, relate to the same issues as herein involved.                
          The related appeals involve U.S. Application Serial Number                  
          08/137,440, filed on October 15, 1993 (Appeal Number 1997-                  
          2188); and U.S. Application Serial Number 08/137,444, filed on              
          October 15, 1993 (Appeal Number 1997-2167).                                 
               The claims in this application differ from the claims in               
          the two related applications chiefly in the description of the              
          substituent R .  Decisions in the two related appeals were2                                                              
          mailed on even date with this opinion.                                      
                                   THE REJECTIONS                                     
               Claims 1 through 22 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 112,                
          first paragraph, on the grounds the specification fails to                  
          adequately teach how to use the claimed invention .2                          
                                       OPINION                                        
               We have carefully considered the entire record before us,              


           The examiner has dropped the rejection of the same2                                                                      
          claims  under 35 U.S.C. § 101 as lacking practical utility.
