Ulysses and HETE-FREGATE observed this GRB at 37740 seconds (HETE
2397).  As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of approximately 50
seconds, a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately  3.7E-6 erg/cm2, and a
peak flux of approximately  3.8E-07 erg/cm2 s over 0.50 seconds.

We have triangulated it to a preliminary, 3 sigma annulus centered at
RA, Decl= 357.102, -36.223 degrees, whose radius is 83.633 +/- 0.057
degrees.  This annulus intersects the one-dimensional HETE WXM error
box (GCN/HETE Burst Position Notice, Sequence Number 4) to form an
error box whose approximate area is 50 sq. arcmin. and whose coordinates are:

    RA(2000)                              DEC(2000)

This error may be improved.
