  K. Hurley, on behalf of the Ulysses GRB team, T. Cline, on behalf of the Konus-Wind and NEAR GRB teams, and E. Mazets, and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the KONUS-WIND GRB team, report:
  Ulysses, NEAR, and KONUS-WIND observed this GRB at 80347 seconds. As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately 10. seconds, a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately 3.6E-06 erg/cm2, and a peak flux of approximately 1.0E-06 erg/cm2 s over .25 seconds We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error whose approximate area is 1300 sq. arcmin. and whose coordinates are:
