COMMENTS:                 RXTE-ASM GRB Coordinates.  
COMMENTS:                 This GRB was only seen in one camera.  
COMMENTS:                 Due to missing anodes, we can poorly constrain the  
COMMENTS:                 position of the GRB along the long direction of the  
COMMENTS:                 error box.  From the given position, the box should  
COMMENTS:                 extend 10 degrees to the north east, and 1.5 degrees  
COMMENTS:                 to the south west.  
COMMENTS:                   
COMMENTS:                 This was a complex observation to analyze.  It appears  
COMMENTS:                 that the GRB came out of earth-occult in progress  
COMMENTS:                 at around 19:13:40 UTC.  The average flux over the  
COMMENTS:                 full 90-s observation was 330 mCrab (2-12 keV), but  
COMMENTS:                 we only observed the burst for around 20 s.  The   
COMMENTS:                 maximum flux may have exceeded 2 Crab.    
COMMENTS:
