; NAME:
;	RADEC
; PURPOSE:
;	To convert RA and Dec  from decimal to sexagesimal units.
; EXPLANATION: 
;	The conversion is to sexagesimal hours for RA,  and sexagesimal 
;	degrees for declination.
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;	radec, ra, dec, ihr, imin, xsec, ideg, imn, xsc, [/HOURS}
;
; INPUTS:
;	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
;
; OUTPUTS:
;	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)
;
; OPTIONAL KEYWORD INPUT:
;       /HOURS - if set, then the input righ ascension should be specified in
;              hours instead of degrees.
; RESTRICTIONS:
;	RADEC does minimal parameter checking.
;
; REVISON HISTORY:
;	Written by B. Pfarr, STX, 4/24/87
;	Converted to IDL V5.0   W. Landsman   September 1997
;       Added /HOURS keyword W. Landsman  August 2002
