FINAL POSITION OF THE X-RAY SOURCE FOUND BY BEPPOSAX FOLLOW UP OF GB980329

BeppoSAX follow-up observation of GB980329 with the Narrow Field
Instruments started on March 29, 10:48 UT, i.e.  about 7 hours after the
event.  Analysis of the first 12 orbits (about 0.8 days) of MECS and LECS
shows a decreasing source within the WFC error box.

Position is:
alpha(2000)=105.651
delta(2000)=+38.839

with an error radius of  1'

We do not expect further updates of the position.
