      SUBROUTINE slGAEQ (DL, DB, DR, DD)

     - - - - - -
      G A E Q
     - - - - - -

  Transformation from IAU 1958 galactic coordinates to
  J2000.0 equatorial coordinates (double precision)

  Given:
     DL,DB       dp       galactic longitude and latitude L2,B2

  Returned:
     DR,DD       dp       J2000.0 RA,Dec

  (all arguments are radians)

  Called:
     slDS2C, slDIMV, slDC2S, slDA2P, slDA1P

  Note:
     The equatorial coordinates are J2000.0.  Use the routine
     slGE50 if conversion to B1950.0 'FK4' coordinates is
     required.
