                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of               
          claims 1, 4-7, 10, 11 and 19-26.  Claims 2 and 8 have been                  
          cancelled and the examiner has indicated, at page 4 of the                  
          answer, that claims 3, 9 and 12-18 are now considered to be                 
          directed to allowable subject matter and are no longer before us            
          on appeal.
