                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               This is a decision on an appeal from the examiner’s final              
          rejection of claims 1-11 and 19-27, all the claims pending in the           
          application.  Subsequent to the final rejection, the examiner               
          reconsidered the rejection of claims 1-11, 19, 20, 22-25 and 27 and         
          indicated at pages 2-3 of the answer that these claims were either          
          allowed or would be allowed if rewritten in independent form.
