<DT>1.
<DD>If vector V0 is not of unit length, or if vector V is of zero
length, the results will be wrong.
<DT>2.
<DD>If V0 points at a pole, the returned <IMG WIDTH="26" HEIGHT="27" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img90.gif"
 ALT="$\xi,\eta$">        will be based on the
        arbitrary assumption that <IMG WIDTH="43" HEIGHT="14" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img89.gif"
 ALT="$\alpha=0$"> at the tangent point.
  <DT>3.
<DD>The projection is called the <I>gnomonic</I> projection;  the
        Cartesian coordinates <IMG WIDTH="41" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img85.gif"
 ALT="$[\,\xi,\eta\,]$"> are called 
        <I>standard coordinates.</I>  The latter
        are in units of the distance from the tangent plane to the projection
        point, <I>i.e.</I> radians near the origin.
  <DT>4.
<DD>This routine is the Cartesian equivalent of the routine sla_S2TP.
