-I/O
   
   Given:
   
      packed_dms     packed degrees/minutes/seconds

   the call:
   
      status = MTK_DMS_TO_DD( packed_dms, dd )
   
   returns:
   
      status         0 on success; otherwise failure
      dd             decimal degrees

-Examples

      ;;
      ;; Set up input parameters
      ;;
      packed_dms  = 65033000.010
      status      = MTK_DMS_TO_DD( packed_dms, dd )
      
      ;;
      ;; Output...
      ;;
      print, 'packed dms            : ', packed_dms
      print, '================================================='
      print, 'DECIMAL DEGREES       : ',dd,FORMAT='(A,F15.3)'

   IDL outputs:
   
      packed dms            :   6.50330e+07
    =================================================
      DECIMAL DEGREES       :          65.550
