                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of               
          claims 1 through 11, all the claims pending in the instant                  
          application.                                                                
               The invention relates to an address generation and                     
          modification in computer programs.  See page 1 of Appellant's               
          specification.  In particular, the invention is a method of                 
          defining a pointer to a location by determining an offset of the            
          location of the pointer from a location that the pointer is to
