*
*  Spherical coordinates to direction cosines (double precision)
*
*  Given:
*     A,B       dp      spherical coordinates in radians
*                        (RA,Dec), (Long,Lat) etc
*
*  Returned:
*     V         dp(3)   x,y,z unit vector
*
*  The spherical coordinates are longitude (+ve anticlockwise
*  looking from the +ve latitude pole) and latitude.  The
*  Cartesian coordinates are right handed, with the x axis
*  at zero longitude and latitude, and the z axis at the
*  +ve latitude pole.
