              Application No. 08/657,510                                                                                


                     created, comprising:                                                                               
                            first means for displaying classes from a first class package;                              
                            second means for displaying code for one of the classes, wherein                            
                     said first and second means display the selectable classes and the code                            
                     simultaneously;                                                                                    
                            third means for permitting the user to select a different class                             
                     package from among the available class packages for display of its                                 
                     classes by said first means; and                                                                   
                            fourth means for retreiving [sic] the selected class package over a                         
                     network if the selected class package is not stored locally.                                       


                     Claims 1, 3, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 13-17 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as                    
              obvious over Ira Rodens ("Rodens"), Examining Symantec C++ 7.0, Dr. Dobb's Journal                        
              (Aug. 1995) and U.S. Patent No. 5,715,432 ("Xu").  Claims 2, 4,2 12, 18, and 19 stand                     
              rejected under § 103(a) as obvious over Rodens; Xu; and Example-then-Domain                               
              Approach in an Object-Oriented Application Builder, IBM Technical Disclosure Bulletin                     
              ("IBM") vol. 37, no. 02B (Feb. 1994).  Claim 5 stands rejected under § 103(a) as                          
              obvious over Rodens; Xu; and U.S. Patent No. 5,187,788 ("Marmelstein").                                   





                     2Although the examiner's statement of the rejection over Rodens, Xu, and IBM,                      
              (Examiner's Answer at 7), omits claim 4, the claim depends from claim 2, which stands                     
              rejected under Rodens, Xu, and IBM.  Therefore, we treat claim 4 as also rejected                         
              under Rodens, Xu, and IBM.
