                                   DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               This is a decision on appeal from the Examiner’s final                  
          rejection of claims 1-4, 6-25, 27-46 and 48-63.  The Examiner has            
          objected to claims 5, 26 and 47 and has indicated their                      
          allowability if rewritten in independent form including all of               
          the limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims.                
               We reverse.
