      SUBROUTINE slDC2S (V, A, B)

     - - - - - -
      D C 2 S
     - - - - - -

  Direction cosines to spherical coordinates (double precision)

  Given:
     V     d(3)   x,y,z vector

  Returned:
     A,B   d      spherical coordinates in radians

  The spherical coordinates are longitude (+ve anticlockwise
  looking from the +ve latitude pole) and latitude.  The
  Cartesian coordinates are right handed, with the x axis
  at zero longitude and latitude, and the z axis at the
  +ve latitude pole.

  If V is null, zero A and B are returned.
  At either pole, zero A is returned.
