RADEC

       To convert RA and Dec  from decimal to sexigesimal units.

       The conversion is to sexigesimal hours for RA,  and sexigesimal
       degrees for declination.

       radec, ra, dec, ihr, imin, xsec, ideg, imn, xsc, [/HOURS}

       ra   - right ascension, scalar or vector, in DEGREES unless the
              /HOURS keyword is set
       dec  - declination in decimal DEGREES, scalar or vector, same number
               of elements as RA

       ihr  - right ascension hours   (INTEGER*2)
       imin - right ascension minutes (INTEGER*2)
       xsec - right ascension seconds  (REAL*4 or REAL*8)
       ideg - declination degrees (INTEGER*2)
       imn  - declination minutes (INTEGER*2)
       xsc  - declination seconds (REAL*4 or REAL*8)

       /HOURS - if set, then the input righ ascension should be specified in
              hours instead of degrees.

       RADEC does minimal parameter checking.
