This is the archive of all the GCN/IPN_Segment Notices in their original form as they were sent out to the GCN sites. It should be remembered that these are the "initial" IPN solution for each GRB and are based on preliminary and partial data sets. They were calulated and distributed with speed as paramount. More refined (precise) IPN solutions have since been calculated based on more complete data sets and with humans in the loop. Typically, this means that the centerline of the annulus moves very little, but the annular width descreases significantly from the initial to the final calculation. The "segment" information is dervived from the 2-spacecraft-only annulus solution overlaid onto the BATSE error circle. This intersection yields the segment listed in the Notice. All inquires about the "final" IPN solutions should be directed to Kevin Hurley (UC Berkeley) khurley@sunspot.ssl.berkeley.edu .

NOTE (Jun 2000): With the loss of CGRO, there are no more BATSE positions
to be correlated with the IPN annuli, so these GCN/IPN_Segment Notices
will no longer be generated.
