               Appeal 2007-2131                                                                             
               Application 10/401,331                                                                       
                      Likewise, we find numerous portions of the Specification                              
               disclose using decompression to unarchive files:                                             
                      When a request is received for an archived file, the archive                          
                      mechanism retrieves the archive file and decompresses the                             
                      archive file [emphasis added].                                                        
               (Specification 3: 18-20).                                                                    
                      When a request is received for an archived file, the archive                          
                      module may retrieve the archive file and decompresses the                             
                      archive file.  The content manager may then extract the content                       
                      file from the decompressed archive file and return the                                
                      requested file to the user [emphasis added].                                          
               (Specification 13: 24-27).                                                                   
                      If the archive module unarchives an entire archive file, then all                     
                      content files in the archive file must be updated.  On the other                      
                      hand, the archive module may extract the content file and re-                         
                      compress the remaining files into an archive file of the same or                      
                      a different name. In this case, the archive lookup table must be                      
                      updated to reflect the unarchived file.  If the remaining                             
                      files are compressed into an archive file of a different name,                        
                      then archive file name 506 must be updated for those remaining                        
                      files [emphasis added].                                                               
               (Specification 15: 19-27).                                                                   
                      In a preferred embodiment, content files are unarchived by                            
                      locating and decompressing the archive file and then extracting                       
                      the content files [emphasis added].                                                   
               (Specification 17: 1-3).                                                                     
                      If the content file is archived in step 704, the process locates the                  
                      archive file (step 710), retrieves the archive file (step 712), and                   
                      decompresses the archive file (step 714).  The process then                           

                                                     8
