K. Hurley and T. Cline, on behalf of the Ulysses, Mars Odyssey, 
and Konus GRB teams,

I. Mitrofanov, D. Anfimov, A. Kozyrev, M. Litvak and A. Sanin on behalf of the
HEND/Odyssey GRB team,

E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the Konus-Wind GRB team,

W. Boynton, C. Fellows, K. Harshman, C. Shinohara and R. Starr, on behalf of
the GRS/Odyssey GRB team, report:

Ulysses, Konus-Wind, and HEND observed this burst at 64234 s.
As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of ~1.5 s, which
probably places it in the short-duration, hard spectrum GRB category.
Its 25-100 keV fluence was ~6E-6 erg/cm^2, and its peak flux over
0.5 s was ~1.4E-6 erg/cm^2 s.  We have triangulated it to a
preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose area is ~ 25 square arcminutes,
whose coordinates are:

    RA(2000)                 DEC(2000)
 19 h 31 m 15.61 s      4 o 55 '   6.19 "  (CENTER)
 19 h 31 m 52.52 s      4 o 58 '  39.23 "  (CORNER)
 19 h 30 m 51.29 s      4 o 54 '   1.77 "  (CORNER)
 19 h 31 m 39.88 s      4 o 56 '  10.05 "  (CORNER)
 19 h 30 m 38.55 s      4 o 51 '  31.67 "  (CORNER)

This error box may be improved.
