Vacuum oscillations of [nu][sub [mu]] into [nu][sub [tau]] and either matter-enhanced or just-so'' vacuum oscillations of [nu][sub [ital e]] into [nu][sub [mu]] are generally invoked to explain the observed discrepancies in atmospheric and solar neutrino fluxes, respectively. In this paper, regions of the three-neutrino-flavor parameter space, compatible with the existing atmospheric and solar neutrino data (including the new results from GALLEX) within the vacuum oscillation scheme, are identified.
