 * Module:	hget.c (Get FITS Header parameter values)
 * Purpose:	Extract values for variables from FITS header string
 * Subroutine:	hgeti2 (hstring,keyword,ival) returns short integer
 * Subroutine:	hgeti4 (hstring,keyword,ival) returns long integer
 * Subroutine:	hgetr4 (hstring,keyword,rval) returns real
 * Subroutine:	hgetra (hstring,keyword,ra) returns double RA in degrees
 * Subroutine:	hgetdec (hstring,keyword,dec) returns double Dec in degrees
 * Subroutine:	hgetr8 (hstring,keyword,dval) returns double
 * Subroutine:	hgetl  (hstring,keyword,lval) returns logical int (0=F, 1=T)
 * Subroutine:	hgets  (hstring,keyword, lstr, str) returns character string
 * Subroutine:	hgetdate (hstring,keyword,date) returns date as fractional year
 * Subroutine:	hgetc  (hstring,keyword) returns character string
 * Subroutine:	ksearch (hstring,keyword) returns pointer to header string entry
 * Subroutine:	str2ra (in, dec) converts string to right ascension in degrees
 * Subroutine:	str2dec (in, dec) converts string to declination in degrees
 * Subroutine:	strsrch (s1, s2) finds string s2 in null-terminated string s1
 * Subroutine:	strnsrch (s1, s2, ls1) finds string s2 in ls1-byte string s1
 * Subroutine:	hlength (header,lhead) sets length of FITS header for searching
