*  Given the tangent-plane coordinates of a star and its direction
*  cosines, determine the direction cosines of the tangent-point.
*
*  (double precision)
*
*  Given:
*     XI,ETA    d       tangent plane coordinates of star
*     V         d(3)    direction cosines of star
*
*  Returned:
*     V01       d(3)    direction cosines of tangent point, solution 1
*     V02       d(3)    direction cosines of tangent point, solution 2
*     N         i       number of solutions:
*                         0 = no solutions returned (note 2)
*                         1 = only the first solution is useful (note 3)
*                         2 = both solutions are useful (note 3)
*
*  Notes:
*
*  1  The vector V must be of unit length or the result will be wrong.
*
*  2  Cases where there is no solution can only arise near the poles.
*     For example, it is clearly impossible for a star at the pole
*     itself to have a non-zero XI value, and hence it is meaningless
*     to ask where the tangent point would have to be.
*
*  3  Also near the poles, cases can arise where there are two useful
*     solutions.  The argument N indicates whether the second of the
*     two solutions returned is useful.  N=1 indicates only one useful
*     solution, the usual case;  under these circumstances, the second
*     solution can be regarded as valid if the vector V02 is interpreted
*     as the "over-the-pole" case.
*
*  4  This routine is the Cartesian equivalent of the routine slDPSC.
