                        This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final rejection of claims 1-6,                                  
                20-23, 25 and 26.1                                                                                                       
                        Claims 18 and 24 were canceled in amendment A (Paper No. 4, filed October 7,                                     
                1999) and claims 7-17 and 19 were withdrawn from consideration on page 1 of the                                          
                brief.                                                                                                                   
                        We REVERSE.                                                                                                      



                        1 The examiner’s Status of Claims in the answer is correct, whereas the appellant’s STATUS                       
                OF THE CLAIMS in the brief incorrectly list claim 24 as pending in the appeal rather than canceled.
