E. Mazets and S. Golenetskii, on behalf of the Konus-Wind GRB team, report:

Ulysses, Mars Odyssey (HEND & GRS), and Konus-Wind  observed this GRB
at 56911 seconds.  As observed by Ulysses, it had a duration of over
500 seconds, a 25-100 keV fluence of approximately  5.9E-05 erg/cm2,
and a peak flux of approximately  1.6E-06 erg/cm2 s over 0.50 seconds.

Despite the intensity of the event, the burst arrival direction with
respect to the inter-spacecraft vectors was unfavorable, and we can
only triangulate it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose
approximate area is 2300 sq. arcmin. and whose coordinates are:

    RA(2000)                              DEC(2000)
 ERROR BOX CENTER:  15 h 33 m 11.26 s     26 o 17 '  30.30 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 1: 15 h 30 m 49.56 s     25 o 23 '  00.71 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 2: 15 h 25 m 36.77 s     23 o 33 '  25.40 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 3: 15 h 45 m 52.03 s     30 o 47 '  37.49 " 
 ERROR BOX CORNER 4: 15 h 35 m 52.69 s     27 o 18 '  54.68 " 

This error box may be improved.
