          Appeal No. 1997-3425                                      Page 15           
          Application No. 08/087,824                                                  


          version of CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, however, lists                
          alternate versions of a software application and each tape                  
          drive, among a plurality of tape drives, that has used each of              
          the versions.                                                               


               For its part, Fisher teaches “the creation of an                       
          installation profile which contains all of the preset options               
          and characteristics of a selected data processing system which              
          are necessary to automatically install a complex multilevel                 
          software application within that data processing system ....”               
          Col. 5, ll. 48-53.  The examiner has not shown that such an                 
          installation profile, however, lists alternate versions of a                
          software application or each tape drive, among a plurality of               
          tape drives, that has used each of the versions.                            


               Neither the addition of Cwiakala nor Bealkowski cures the              
          defects of Microsoft and Fisher.  The examiner has not                      
          identified anything in these references or the prior art as a               
          whole that teaches or would have suggested listing alternate                
          versions of a software application or each tape drive, among a              
          plurality of tape drives, that has used each of the versions.
