    At 04:09:00 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 191016 ***A*** (trigger=929744).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 30.296, +24.501 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 02h 01m 11s
       Dec(J2000) = +24d 30' 03"
    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 ~1445 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~-6 sec after the trigger.
