          Application No. 08/833,719                                                  

          linked list of storage locations on said storage medium used for            
          storing the source files, said routing table facilitating replay            
          of said edited material sequence of clips in both forward and               
          reverse directions.                                                         
               The examiner relies on the following references:                       
          Rayner                        5,388,197           Feb.  7, 1995             
          Norton et al. (Norton)        5,568,275           Oct. 22, 1996             
                                             (filed Jun. 26, 1995)                    
               Claims 1-3 and 5-7 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as             
          being unpatentable over Norton in view of Rayner.                           
               Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants and the                 
          examiner, we make reference to the brief (Paper No. 13), the                
          reply brief (Paper No. 16) and the examiner’s answer (Paper No.             
          14) for the respective details thereof.                                     
                                        OPINION                                       
               We have considered the rejection advanced by the examiner              
          and the supporting arguments.  We have, likewise, reviewed the              
          appellants’ arguments set forth in the briefs.                              
               We affirm.                                                             
               As a general proposition, in an appeal involving a rejection           
          under 35 U.S.C. § 103, an Examiner is under a burden to make out
