SUBROUTINE sla_PREC (EP0, EP1, RMATP)
*+
*     - - - - -
*      P R E C
*     - - - - -
*
*  Form the matrix of precession between two epochs (IAU 1976, FK5)
*  (double precision)
*
*  Given:
*     EP0    dp         beginning epoch
*     EP1    dp         ending epoch
*
*  Returned:
*     RMATP  dp(3,3)    precession matrix
*
*  Notes:
*
*     1)  The epochs are TDB (loosely ET) Julian epochs.
*
*     2)  The matrix is in the sense   V(EP1)  =  RMATP * V(EP0)
*
*     3)  Though the matrix method itself is rigorous, the precession
*         angles are expressed through canonical polynomials which are
*         valid only for a limited time span.  There are also known
*         errors in the IAU precession rate.  The absolute accuracy
*         of the present formulation is better than 0.1 arcsec from
*         1960AD to 2040AD, better than 1 arcsec from 1640AD to 2360AD,
*         and remains below 3 arcsec for the whole of the period
*         500BC to 3000AD.  The errors exceed 10 arcsec outside the
*         range 1200BC to 3900AD, exceed 100 arcsec outside 4200BC to
*         5600AD and exceed 1000 arcsec outside 6800BC to 8200AD.
*         The SLALIB routine sla_PRECL implements a more elaborate
*         model which is suitable for problems spanning several
*         thousand years.
