*  Name:
*     palGalsup

*  Purpose:
*     Convert from galactic to supergalactic coordinates

*  Language:
*     Starlink ANSI C

*  Type of Module:
*     Library routine

*  Invocation:
*     void palGalsup ( double dl, double db, double *dsl, double *dsb );

*  Arguments:
*     dl = double (Given)
*       Galactic longitude.
*     db = double (Given)
*       Galactic latitude.
*     dsl = double * (Returned)
*       Supergalactic longitude.
*     dsb = double * (Returned)
*       Supergalactic latitude.

*  Description:
*     Transformation from IAU 1958 galactic coordinates to
*     de Vaucouleurs supergalactic coordinates.

*  Authors:
*     PTW: Pat Wallace (STFC)
*     TIMJ: Tim Jenness (JAC, Hawaii)

*     (These two references give different values for the galactic
*     longitude of the supergalactic origin.  Both are wrong;  the
*     correct value is L2=137.37.)
