  K. Hurley, on behalf of the Ulysses GRB team, T. Cline, on behalf of the Konus Wind and NEAR GRB teams, E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the Konus Wind GRB team, and F. Frontera, C. Guidorzi, and E. Montanari, on behalf of the BeppoSAX GRBM team, report:
  Ulysses, Konus Wind, NEAR, and the BeppoSAX GRBM observed this burst at 59547 s UT. As observed by Ulysses, the duration was ~20 s, the 25 - 100 keV fluence was ~ 5.3 x 10^-7 erg/cm^2, and the peak flux over 0.5 s was ~3.6 x 10^-7 erg/cm^2 s. We have triangulated this burst to an ~30 sq. arcmin. error box whose preliminary, 3 sigma coordinates are:

      RA(2000)                 DEC(2000)
    2 h 22 m 27.23 s    -17 o 52 '  16.34 "  (CENTER)
    2 h 22 m 20.59 s    -17 o 52 '  55.53 "  (CORNER)
