+ SUBROUTINE slF54Z (R2000,D2000,BEPOCH,
+ : R1950,D1950,DR1950,DD1950)

+
+ Convert a J2000.0 FK5 star position to B1950.0 FK4 assuming
+ zero proper motion and parallax (double precision)
+
+ This routine converts star positions from the new, IAU 1976,
+ FK5, Fricke system to the old, Bessel-Newcomb, FK4 system.
+
+ Given:
+ R2000,D2000 dp J2000.0 FK5 RA,Dec (rad)
+ BEPOCH dp Besselian epoch (e.g. 1950D0)
+
+ Returned:
+ R1950,D1950 dp B1950.0 FK4 RA,Dec (rad) at epoch BEPOCH
+ DR1950,DD1950 dp B1950.0 FK4 proper motions (rad/trop.yr)
+
+ Notes:
+
+ 1) The proper motion in RA is dRA/dt rather than cos(Dec)*dRA/dt.
+
+ 2) Conversion from Julian epoch 2000.0 to Besselian epoch 1950.0
+ only is provided for. Conversions involving other epochs will
+ require use of the appropriate precession routines before and
+ after this routine is called.
+
+ 3) Unlike in the slFK54 routine, the FK5 proper motions, the
+ parallax and the radial velocity are presumed zero.
+
+ 4) It is the intention that FK5 should be a close approximation
+ to an inertial frame, so that distant objects have zero proper
+ motion; such objects have (in general) non-zero proper motion
+ in FK4, and this routine returns those fictitious proper
+ motions.
+
+ 5) The position returned by this routine is in the B1950
+ reference frame but at Besselian epoch BEPOCH. For
+ comparison with catalogues the BEPOCH argument will
+ frequently be 1950D0.
