+*
+* Velocity component in a given direction due to Earth rotation
+* (single precision)
+*
+* Given:
+* PHI real latitude of observing station (geodetic)
+* RA,DA real apparent RA,DEC
+* ST real local apparent sidereal time
+*
+* PHI, RA, DEC and ST are all in radians.
+*
+* Result:
+* Component of Earth rotation in direction RA,DA (km/s)
+*
+* Sign convention:
+* The result is +ve when the observatory is receding from the
+* given point on the sky.
+*
+* Accuracy:
+* The simple algorithm used assumes a spherical Earth, of
+* a radius chosen to give results accurate to about 0.0005 km/s
+* for observing stations at typical latitudes and heights. For
+* applications requiring greater precision, use the routine
+* slPVOB.
