                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               Charles J. Long, Jr. appeals from the examiner’s final                 
          rejection of claims 1-14, 16-28, 31, 32, 34-39 and 41-43.  Claims           
          15, 29, 30, 33 and 40, the only other claims pending in the                 
          application, have been objected to as depending from a rejected             
          claim, but are otherwise indicated as being allowable if rewritten          
          in independent form.
