designating a deepest node level of the tree structure, wherein
the deepest node is the same as or below the level of the root
node.
The examiner indicates that Sanderman does not explicitly
teach downloading, into the memory of the local computer system,
documents in the nodes on levels that are in and between the root
node and the node at the deepest node level, but turns to Hughes
for such a teaching. Citing column 3, lines 8-67 and column 4,
lines 1-64, of Hughes, for a downloading of files having the same
root address as the original file and downloading the original
file and none of the files associated with hyper text links as
well as all the files associated with the hyper text links from
the same server, which, according to the examiner, means that
those files or documents associated with the root as well as the
original file would be included in the download.

system manner for bundling and distribution in other formats,
