          Appeal No. 1998-2939                                                        
          Application 08/129,077                                                      


          McGraw-Hill, Inc.                                                           


          Claims 12-17 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  As                      
          evidence of obviousness the examiner offers Papamichalis in                 
          view of Parsons with respect to claims 12-15 and 17, adding                 
          Willems with respect to claim 16.                                           
          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the                        
          examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for                
          the respective details thereof.                                             
          OPINION                                                                     
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on                          
          appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner and the                     
          evidence of obviousness relied upon by the examiner as support              
          for the rejections.  We have, likewise, reviewed and taken                  
          into consideration, in reaching our decision, the appellant’s               
          arguments set forth in the briefs along with the examiner’s                 
          rationale in support of the rejections and arguments in                     
          rebuttal set forth in the examiner’s answer.                                
          It is our view, after consideration of the record                           
          before us, that the evidence relied upon and the level of                   
          skill in the particular art would not have suggested to one of              
                                         -3-
