K. Hurley, on behalf of the Ulysses GRB team, and C. Guidorzi,
E. Montanari, and F. Frontera, on behalf of the BeppoSAX GRBM
team, report:

Ulysses and BeppoSAX GRBM observed this burst (GCN 1035).
As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration ~80 s, a 25-100
keV fluence of 9.4x10^-6 erg/cm^2, and a peak flux over
0.5 s of ~9 x 10^-7 erg/cm^2 s.  These numbers are subject
to more than the usual uncertainties because Ulysses is
recording a solar proton event which raises its background
by a factor of 2 or so.  Triangulation gives an annulus
centered at RA(2000), Decl(2000)=3.671, -21.012 deg., with
radius 75.856 +/- 0.034 deg. (3 sigma).  This intersects the
WFC error circle to form an error box whose area is approximately
47 sq. arcmin. and whose corners are at

          RA(2000)                             DEC(2000)
