DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on the appeal from the final rejection of
claims 9-17. In the final rejection mailed May 24, 2000 (Paper
No. 5), the Examiner indicated that claims 21-25 were allowed and
that claims 18-20 contained allowable subject matter but were
objected to as being dependent on a rejected claim. Claims 1-8
stand withdrawn from consideration as being drawn to a non-
elected invention. An amendment filed July 25, 2000 after final
rejection was approved for entry by the Examiner.
