REAL FUNCTION slBEAR (A1, B1, A2, B2)
*+
* - - - - -
* B E A R
* - - - - -
*
* Bearing (position angle) of one point on a sphere relative to another
* (single precision)
*
* Given:
* A1,B1 r spherical coordinates of one point
* A2,B2 r spherical coordinates of the other point
*
* (The spherical coordinates are RA,Dec, Long,Lat etc, in radians.)
*
* The result is the bearing (position angle), in radians, of point
* A2,B2 as seen from point A1,B1. It is in the range +/- pi. If
* A2,B2 is due east of A1,B1 the bearing is +pi/2. Zero is returned
* if the two points are coincident.
