SYNOPSYS

void slaEcmat(date, rmat)

double ( *rmat

DESCRIPTION


  Form the equatorial to ecliptic rotation matrix (IAU 1980 theory).

  (double precision)

Given

     date     double         TDB (loosely ET) as Modified Julian Date
                                            (JD-2400000.5)

Returned

     rmat     double[3][3]   matrix

Note

    The matrix is in the sense   v[ecl]  =  rmat * v[equ];  the
    equator, equinox and ecliptic are mean of date.
