    At 00:58:00 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 180329 ***A*** (trigger=819301).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 329.298, -15.071 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 21h 57m 11s
       Dec(J2000) = -15d 04' 14"
    with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
    systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a [**double-peaked**]
    structure with a duration of about TTT sec.  The peak count rate
    was ~1431 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~5 sec after the trigger.
