3* Name:
4* palEpco
5
6* Purpose:
7* Convert an epoch into the appropriate form - 'B' or 'J'
8
9* Language:
10* Starlink ANSI C
11
12* Type of Module:
13* Library routine
14
15* Invocation:
16* double palEpco( char k0, char k, double e );
17
18* Arguments:
19* k0 = char (Given)
20* Form of result: 'B'=Besselian, 'J'=Julian
21* k = char (Given)
22* Form of given epoch: 'B' or 'J'.
23
24* Description:
25* Converts a Besselian or Julian epoch to a Julian or Besselian
26* epoch.

33* Notes:
34* - The result is always either equal to or very close to
35* the given epoch E. The routine is required only in
36* applications where punctilious treatment of heterogeneous
37* mixtures of star positions is necessary.
38* - k and k0 are case insensitive. This differes slightly from the
39* Fortran SLA implementation.
40* - k and k0 are not validated. They are interpreted as follows:
41* o If k0 and k are the same the result is e
42* o If k0 is 'b' or 'B' and k isn't the conversion is J to B.
43* o In all other cases, the conversion is B to J.

45* History:
46* 2012-03-01 (TIMJ):
47* Initial version. Documentation from SLA/F.
