This directory contains the source for the SDAS table I/O routines. All procedure names begin with "tb". The next letter usually gives some idea of the kind of object the procedure deals with (t - table, r - row, c - column, p - parameter, h - header parameter). Procedures beginning with "tbx", "tby", "tbf" or "tbz" are lower-level routines for row-ordered tables, column-ordered tables, FITS tables or text tables respectively. The top-level procedures are listed in calls.doc in the doc subdirectory. A description of the file format of a table is given by fileformat.doc in the doc subdirectory.
