    At 04:14:55 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 180331 ***A*** (trigger=820347).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 66.017, +13.398 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 04h 24m 04s
       Dec(J2000) = +13d 23' 52"
    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 ~1503 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~7 sec after the trigger.
