The IBAS programs triggered on the bursts and produced the image, and light curve shown in the figure. For this test the IBAS imaging programs had to be modified to take into account the diverging X-ray beam due to the finite distance of the source. The ISGRI image shown uses data integrated over 10 seconds. The observed count rate corresponds roughly to about 0.7 Crab. During the longest burst interval (130 s) the fluence is estimated to about 1.5 x 10-6 ergs/cm**2 (15 - 70 keV).
