                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on the appeal from the Examiner’s                   
          rejection of claims 1-8, 10-12, and 14-25.  Claims 9 and 13 are             
          indicated by the Examiner as being allowable subject to being               
          rewritten in independent form to include all the limitations of             
          the base claim and any intervening claims.  An amendment filed              
          February 23, 2000 after final rejection was denied entry by the             
          Examiner.
