and not the corresponding requirement of the linked relationship
of the data in a file to the corresponding data in a folder.
According to the fileset deletion capability at page 15 of
Mangosoft, the operation of deleting a fileset is implemented by
deleting all files in the fileset and in all shared memory space
allocated to the files in the fileset as well as the backing
store. As noted at page 13 beginning at line 19, the filesets 66
through 74 in Figure 2 are stated to be considered to be
equivalent to a traditional file system partitioning approach.
This traditional approach does not necessarily include the
bidirectionality of the linking noted earlier. It appears to us,
therefore, that according to the examiner’s reasoning, the
requirement of a folder operation in independent claim 1 being
performed only on a folder containing the noted image, stylesheet
or object referenced in the file can not functionally be obtained
according to Mangosoft since all of the related files within a
given directory/folder will be deleted and not only those
containing the corresponding image, stylesheet or object
“referenced” in the file. If a folder is deleted in Mangosoft,
all of the respective files within the folder would be deleted
and not only those that may have referenced information
corresponding to the folder or the file.
Since Mangosoft does not appear to teach or suggest the
claimed relationship or linking of the actual data with respect
