+ DOUBLE PRECISION FUNCTION slDT (EPOCH)
+*+

+*
+* Estimate the offset between dynamical time and Universal Time
+* for a given historical epoch.
+*
+* Given:
+* EPOCH d (Julian) epoch (e.g. 1850D0)
+*
+* The result is a rough estimate of ET-UT (after 1984, TT-UT) at
+* the given epoch, in seconds.
+*
+* Notes:
+*
+* 1 Depending on the epoch, one of three parabolic approximations
+* is used:
+*
+* before 979 Stephenson & Morrison's 390 BC to AD 948 model
+* 979 to 1708 Stephenson & Morrison's 948 to 1600 model
+* after 1708 McCarthy & Babcock's post-1650 model
+*
+* The breakpoints are chosen to ensure continuity: they occur
+* at places where the adjacent models give the same answer as
+* each other.
+*
+* 2 The accuracy is modest, with errors of up to 20 sec during
+* the interval since 1650, rising to perhaps 30 min by 1000 BC.
+* Comparatively accurate values from AD 1600 are tabulated in
+* the Astronomical Almanac (see section K8 of the 1995 AA).
+*
+* 3 The use of double-precision for both argument and result is
+* purely for compatibility with other SLALIB time routines.
+*
+* 4 The models used are based on a lunar tidal acceleration value
+* of -26.00 arcsec per century.
+*
+* Reference: Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical Almanac,
+* ed P.K.Seidelmann, University Science Books (1992),
+* section 2.553, p83. This contains references to
+* the Stephenson & Morrison and McCarthy & Babcock
+* papers.
