E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the Konus-Wind GRB team, report:
Ulysses, Konus-Wind, and MO-HEND observed this burst at 56970 s.
As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately 20 seconds, a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately 8.3E-06 erg/cm2, and a peak flux of approximately 6.9E-07 erg/cm2 s over 0.50 seconds.
We have triangulated it to two alternate preliminary 3 sigma error boxes whose approximate areas are 200 sq. arcmin. each and whose coordinates are:
```
    RA(2000)                              DEC(2000)
 ERROR BOX CENTER:   12 h 09 m 04.48 s     83 o 06 '  44.26 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 1: 12 h 03 m 32.15 s     83 o 16 '  13.61 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 12 h 17 m 21.75 s     83 o 01 '  37.33 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 3: 12 h 00 m 33.98 s     83 o 11 '  12.68 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 4: 12 h 14 m 19.83 s     82 o 56 '  58.10 " 

 ERROR BOX CENTER:   13 h 07 m 18.38 s     33 o 22 '  54.25 "
 ERROR BOX CORNER 5: 13 h 06 m 48.49 s     33 o 10 '  44.30 "  
 ERROR BOX CORNER 6: 13 h 08 m 19.93 s     33 o 32 '  11.73 "     
 ERROR BOX CORNER 7: 13 h 06 m 16.69 s     33 o 13 '  39.21 "     
 ERROR BOX CORNER 8: 13 h 07 m 48.07 s     33 o 35 '  05.69 "
```
These error boxes may be improved slightly, and we are seeking auxiliary data which may allow us to distinguish between the two positions. Maps will be posted shortly at sunspot.ssl.berkeley.edu/ipn3/020714.

GCN notice #1457
K. Hurley and T. Cline, on behalf of the Ulysses, Mars Odyssey, and Konus-Wind GRB teams, and
E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the Konus-Wind GRB team, report:
Konus-Wind data have been used to resolve the ambiguity in this localization. The first position given in GCN 1455 is the correct one:

    RA(2000)                              DEC(2000)

 ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 12 h 17 m 21.75 s     83 o 01 '  37.33 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 3: 12 h 00 m 33.98 s     83 o 11 '  12.68 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 4: 12 h 14 m 19.83 s     82 o 56 '  58.10 "
