            Appeal No. 2001-2000                                                      
            Application No. 08/964,096                                                

            not an instance along with actions required to conform that               
            stored set to the true set of indexes.”  We agree.                        
                 Anderson’s figure 1 shows memory elements within part                
            of the overall computer environment 12.  The relationship of              
            any version of an object discussed in this reference to                   
            persistence (permanent storage) in any memory appears not to              
            be disclosed in this reference.  The various versions of an               
            object in Anderson appear to be discussed in terms of real                
            time or nonpersistent, temporary storage since no fields are              
            modified in this reference to migrate the object as claimed               
            in each independent claim on appeal, that is, to                          
            automatically store in permanent storage with a migrated                  
            object, the initial set of fields unchanged by at least one               
            modification along with any action necessary to change the                
            initial set of fields to the modified set of fields.                      
                 With all this said, we also tend to agree with                       
            appellants’ observations at the top of page 3 of the reply                
            brief.  There, appellants express the view that Anderson
