+<DT>1.
+<DD>A rotation matrix describes a rotation about some arbitrary axis.
+The axis is called the <I>Euler axis</I>, and the angle through which the
+reference frame rotates is called the Euler angle. The axial
+ vector supplied to this routine has the same direction as the
+ Euler axis, and its magnitude is the Euler angle in radians.
+ <DT>2.
+<DD>If AXVEC is null, the unit matrix is returned.
+ <DT>3.
+<DD>The reference frame rotates clockwise as seen looking along
+ the axial vector from the origin.
