      SUBROUTINE slETRM (EP, EV)

     - - - - - -
      E T R M
     - - - - - -

  Compute the E-terms (elliptic component of annual aberration)
  vector (double precision)

  Given:
     EP      dp      Besselian epoch

  Returned:
     EV      dp(3)   E-terms as (dx,dy,dz)

  Note the use of the J2000 aberration constant (20.49552 arcsec).
  This is a reflection of the fact that the E-terms embodied in
  existing star catalogues were computed from a variety of
  aberration constants.  Rather than adopting one of the old
  constants the latest value is used here.
