 The information given above comes from the quick-look analysis performed
 daily on data obtained from the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE).
 The typical sensitivity of these measurements using the Earth occultation
 technique (one-day integration) is ~100 mCrab. Be aware that sources within
 about 22 degrees of the orbital poles are not occulted by the Earth;
 therefore, some bright sources may not show up in the daily averages.

 These data are of a preliminary nature and should only be used for planning
 observational programs, and are not intended for publication. Please do not
 distribute this report beyond your local team. For additional information,
 contact B. A. Harmon (harmon@ssl.msfc.nasa.gov).
