                       ConstSpiceDouble   v1 [3],
                       SpiceDouble        b,
                       ConstSpiceDouble   v2 [3],
                       SpiceDouble        c,
                       ConstSpiceDouble   v3 [3],
                       SpiceDouble        sum[3]  )
#### Abstract
       This subroutine computes the vector linear combination
       a*v1 + b*v2 + c*v3 of double precision, 3-dimensional vectors.
#### Required_Reading
       None.

#### Detailed_Input
       a     is a double precision number.

       v1    is a double precision 3-dimensional vector.

       b     is a double precision number.

       v2    is a double precision 3-dimensional vector.

       c     is a double precision number.

       v3    is a double precision 3-dimensional vector.
#### Detailed_Output
       sum   is a double precision 3-dimensional vector which contains
             the linear combination a*v1 + b*v2 + c*v3
#### Parameters
       None.
#### Exceptions
       Error free.
#### Files
       None.
#### Particulars
       For each index from 0 to 2, this routine implements in FORTRAN
       code the expression:

       sum[i] = a*v1[i] + b*v2[i] + c*v3[i]

       No error checking is performed to guard against numeric overflow.
#### Examples
       Often one has the components (a,b,c) of a vector in terms
       of a basis v1, v2, v3.  The vector represented by (a,b,c) can
       be obtained immediately from the call

       vlcom3_c ( a, v1, b, v2, c, v3,   VECTOR )
#### Restrictions
       None.
#### Literature_References
       None.
