      DOUBLE PRECISION FUNCTION slEQEX (DATE)

     - - - - - -
      E Q E X

  Equation of the equinoxes  (IAU 1994, double precision)

  Given:
     DATE    dp      TDB (loosely ET) as Modified Julian Date
                                          (JD-2400000.5)

  The result is the equation of the equinoxes (double precision)
  in radians:

     Greenwich apparent ST = GMST + slEQEX
