          Application 08/967,856                                                      


          examiner's refusal to allow claims 4 through 6, 8 and 9.                    
          Claim 7, the only other claim remaining in this application,                
          has been indicated to be allowable by the examiner in Paper                 
          Number 7.  In Paper Number 5, the examiner gave reasons for                 
          his conclusion that the subject matter of claim 7 was                       
          allowable.                                                                  
                                    THE INVENTION                                     
               The appealed subject matter is directed to a method for                
          preserving wood or a composite wood material which comprises                
          treating the wood or the composite wood material with a                     
          fungicidally or bactericidally effective amount of one of a                 
          family of compounds generically defined as 3-aryl-5,6-dihydro-              
          1,4,2-oxathiazine or oxides of said oxathiazines.                           
               Claim 4 is believed to be adequately representative of                 
          the appealed subject matter and is reproduced below for a more              
          facile understanding of the claimed invention.                              
               4.  A method for preserving wood or a composite wood                   
          material which comprises treating the wood or the composite                 
          wood material with a fungicidally or bactericidally effective               
          amount of a compound of the formula                                         





                                          2
