                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This decision on appeal relates to the examiner's final                
          rejection of all of appellants' pending claims.  Subsequent to              
          the final rejection, appellants chose to cancel claim 5, and                
          the examiner withdrew all rejections based upon 35 U.S.C. §                 
          112.  Accordingly, the sole issue before us relates to the                  
          examiner's rejection of claims 1-4 and 6-8 under 35 U.S.C. §
