                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This appeal is from the final rejection of claims 1-5, 8-11,           
          14-23 and 26-32, and refusal to allow claims 12, 13, 24 and 25 as           
          amended after final rejection.  Claims 6 and 7, which are all of            
          the other claims in the application, stand objected to as being             
          dependent upon a rejected base claim, but allowable if rewritten            
          in independent form to include all of the limitations of the base           
          claim and any intervening claims.                                           

                                          1
