50* Notes:
51* - Calls palMappa and palMapqk
52
53* - The reference systems and timescales used are IAU 2006.
54
55* - EQ is the Julian epoch specifying both the reference frame and
56* the epoch of the position - usually 2000. For positions where
57* the epoch and equinox are different, use the routine palPm to
58* apply proper motion corrections before using this routine.
59*
60* - The distinction between the required TDB and TT is always
61* negligible. Moreover, for all but the most critical
62* applications UTC is adequate.
63*
64* - The proper motions in RA are dRA/dt rather than cos(Dec)*dRA/dt.
65*
66* - This routine may be wasteful for some applications because it
67* recomputes the Earth position/velocity and the precession-
68* nutation matrix each time, and because it allows for parallax
69* and proper motion. Where multiple transformations are to be
70* carried out for one epoch, a faster method is to call the
71* palMappa routine once and then either the palMapqk routine
72* (which includes parallax and proper motion) or palMapqkz (which
73* assumes zero parallax and proper motion).
74*
75* - The accuracy is sub-milliarcsecond, limited by the
76* precession-nutation model (see palPrenut for details).
77*
78* - The accuracy is further limited by the routine palEvp, called
79* by palMappa, which computes the Earth position and velocity.
80* See eraEpv00 for details on that calculation.
