+  Form the matrix of precession between two epochs, using the
+  model of Simon et al (1994), which is suitable for long
+  periods of time.
+
+  (double precision)
+
+  Given:
+     EP0    dp         beginning epoch
+     EP1    dp         ending epoch
+
+  Returned:
+     RMATP  dp(3,3)    precession matrix
+
+  Notes:
+
+     1)  The epochs are TDB Julian epochs.
+
+     2)  The matrix is in the sense   V(EP1)  =  RMATP * V(EP0)
+
+     3)  The absolute accuracy of the model is limited by the
+         uncertainty in the general precession, about 0.3 arcsec per
+         1000 years.  The remainder of the formulation provides a
+         precision of 1 mas over the interval from 1000AD to 3000AD,
+         0.1 arcsec from 1000BC to 5000AD and 1 arcsec from
+         4000BC to 8000AD.
