Starting March 17, 1993 (and including March 10), the BATSE LAD data stream
began including data relayed by the omni-directional antennas.  These data fill
in gaps that were due to the failure of the on-board tape recorders, so the 
BATSE LAD's should have nearly complete time coverage again.  The omni data 
include only Channels 1-3 for all 8 detectors (Channels 4-6 are 0), and include
no pointing information.  Our BATSE software has been modified to handle these
changes.  You will see some messages when running the interactive plot 
program if you try to accumulate Channels 4-6 during an omni time period, or
select a time interval for which pointing data cannot be determined.
