PSR 0833-45
      C. S. Flanagan, Johannesburg Planetarium; and S. J. Buchner,
Hartebeesthoek Radio Astronomy Observatory (HRAO), report that an
increase in the rotation frequency of PSR 0833-45 (cf. IAUC 8730) of
magnitude [Delta(nu)]/nu = +2.62 x 10^{-6} has been observed from the
HBAO, with the "glitch" occurring on Aug. 12.93 UT.  Ten hours of
observations, commencing six hours after the event, indicate an
accompanying fractional increase in the spin-down rate of +0.23 +/- 0.04.
