                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final                 
          rejection of claims 1 to 5, 7, 8 and 20 to 23.  Claims 11 to                
          13, 15 to 19 and 27 to 30 have been allowed.  Claims 6, 9 and               
          24 to 26 have been objected to as depending from a non-allowed              
          claim.  Clams 10, 14, 31 and 32 have been canceled.                         


               We REVERSE and enter a new rejection pursuant to 37 CFR                
          § 1.196(b).
