  Apply corrections for proper motion to a star RA,Dec
  (double precision)

  Given:
     R0,D0    dp     RA,Dec at epoch EP0 (rad)
     PR,PD    dp     proper motions:  RA,Dec changes per year of epoch
     PX       dp     parallax (arcsec)
     RV       dp     radial velocity (km/sec, +ve if receding)
     EP0      dp     start epoch in years (e.g. Julian epoch)
     EP1      dp     end epoch in years (same system as EP0)

  Returned:
     R1,D1    dp     RA,Dec at epoch EP1 (rad)

  Called:
     slDS2C       spherical to Cartesian
     slDC2S       Cartesian to spherical
     slDA2P      normalize angle 0-2Pi

  Note:
     The proper motions in RA are dRA/dt rather than
     cos(Dec)*dRA/dt, and are in the same coordinate
     system as R0,D0.
