*  Name:
*     palEqecl

*  Purpose:
*     Transform from J2000.0 equatorial coordinates to ecliptic coordinates

*  Language:
*     Starlink ANSI C

*  Type of Module:
*     Library routine

*  Invocation:
*     void palEqecl( double dr, double dd, double date,
*                    double *dl, double *db);

*  Arguments:
*     dr = double (Given)
*        J2000.0 mean RA (radians)
*     dd = double (Given)
*        J2000.0 mean Dec (Radians)
*     date = double (Given)
*        TT as Modified Julian Date (JD-2400000.5). The difference
*        between TT and TDB is of the order of a millisecond or two
*        (i.e. about 0.02 arc-seconds).
*     dl = double * (Returned)
*        Ecliptic longitude (mean of date, IAU 1980 theory, radians)
*     db = double * (Returned)
*        Ecliptic latitude (mean of date, IAU 1980 theory, radians)

*  Description:
*     Transform from J2000.0 equatorial coordinates to ecliptic coordinates.
