                                 DECISION ON APPEAL1                                   
               This is a decision on appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from                 
          the Examiner's final rejection of claims 1 through 16 and 18                 
          through 24, all the pending claims in the application.                       




               1Appellant points out on page 1 of the reply brief that the examiner has
          not acknowledged the IDS of August 13, 1998.  We will leave this issue to the
          examiner, it being a procedural issue.  Therefore, any applicable art        
          contained therein is not before us in this appeal.                           
                                           1
