          Application No. 08/658,272                                                  


                    30. A compiler apparatus for a distributed

               interconnected computers, said apparatus being                         
               arranged to accept functional requirements for the                     
               performance of the distributed computing system and                    
               arranged to interpret said functional requirements                     
               in accordance                                                          
               with stored data relating to the computers of said                     
               system to achieve the functional requirements.                         
          (Appeal Br., App.)                                                          


               The prior art applied by the examiner in rejecting the                 
          claims follows:                                                             
               Furukawa et al. (“Furukawa”)       5,717,929           Feb.            
               10, 1998                                                               
                                                  (filed Mar. 28,                     
          1994).                                                                      
          Claims 30-36 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as                     
          anticipated by Furukawa.                                                    


                                       OPINION                                        
               After considering the record, we are persuaded that the                
          examiner erred in rejecting claims 30-36.   Accordingly, we                 
          reverse.
