+ DOUBLE PRECISION FUNCTION slDPAV ( V1, V2 )
+
+ - - - - -
+ D P A V
+ - - - - -
+
+ Position angle of one celestial direction with respect to another.
+
+ (double precision)
+
+ Given:
+ V1 d(3) direction cosines of one point
+ V2 d(3) direction cosines of the other point
+
+ (The coordinate frames correspond to RA,Dec, Long,Lat etc.)
+
+ The result is the bearing (position angle), in radians, of point
+ V2 with respect to point V1. It is in the range +/- pi. The
+ sense is such that if V2 is a small distance east of V1, the
+ bearing is about +pi/2. Zero is returned if the two points
+ are coincident.
+
+ V1 and V2 need not be unit vectors.
+
+ The routine slDBER performs an equivalent function except
+ that the points are specified in the form of spherical
+ coordinates.
