*  Name:
*     palEpco

*  Purpose:
*     Convert an epoch into the appropriate form - 'B' or 'J'

*  Language:
*     Starlink ANSI C

*  Type of Module:
*     Library routine

*  Invocation:
*     double palEpco( char k0, char k, double e );

*  Arguments:
*     k0 = char (Given)
*       Form of result: 'B'=Besselian, 'J'=Julian
*     k = char (Given)
*       Form of given epoch: 'B' or 'J'.

*  Description:
*     Converts a Besselian or Julian epoch to a Julian or Besselian
*     epoch.

*  Authors:
*     PTW: Patrick T. Wallace
*     TIMJ: Tim Jenness (JAC, Hawaii)
*     {enter_new_authors_here}

*  Notes:
*     - The result is always either equal to or very close to
*       the given epoch E.  The routine is required only in
*       applications where punctilious treatment of heterogeneous
*       mixtures of star positions is necessary.
*     - k and k0 are case insensitive. This differes slightly from the
*       Fortran SLA implementation.
*     - k and k0 are not validated. They are interpreted as follows:
*       o If k0 and k are the same the result is e
*       o If k0 is 'b' or 'B' and k isn't the conversion is J to B.
*       o In all other cases, the conversion is B to J.

*  History:
*     2012-03-01 (TIMJ):
*        Initial version. Documentation from SLA/F.
*        Adapted with permission from the Fortran SLALIB library.
