Using the data set from T-307 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 071118***A*** (trigger #296856)
(NAME, et al., GCN Circ. xxxx).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 299.731, 70.117 deg which is 
   RA(J2000)  =  19h 58m 55.4s 
   Dec(J2000) = +70d 07' 00.8" 
with an uncertainty of 2.7 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 100%.
 
[Description about the mask-weighted light curve]
T90 (15-350 keV) is 105.6 +- 34.9 sec (estimated error including systematics).
 
The time-averaged spectrum from T-31.5 to T+87.5 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.53 +- 0.28.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 6.6 +- 1.3 x 10^-07 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+80.24 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 0.3 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
