    At 15:38:39 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 180331 ***A*** (trigger=820513).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 196.820, +61.725 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 13h 07m 17s
       Dec(J2000) = +61d 43' 30"
    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 ~2050 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger.
