Description: 
 This
function allows a representation of a single FITS binary table to be stored in a
FitsChan. For instance, this may provide the coordinate look-up tables needed
                                                                                       
                                                                                       
subequently when reading FITS-WCS headers for axes described using the 
" -TAB
"
algorithm. Since, in general, the calling application may not know which tables will be
needed - if any - prior to calling 
astRead, the astTablesSource function provides
an alternative mechanism in which a caller-supplied function is invoked to
store a named table in the FitsChan.  
Synopsis 
 void astPutTable( AstFitsChan
this, AstFitsTable
table, const
char extnam
)  
 Parameters: 
  this  
 Pointer to the FitsChan.  
  table  
 Pointer to a 
FitsTable to
be added to the FitsChan. If a FitsTable with the associated extension name already
exists in the FitsChan, it is replaced with the new one. A deep copy of the FitsTable
is stored in the FitsChan, so any subsequent changes made to the FitsTable will have no
effect on the behaviour of the FitsChan.  
 extnam  
 The name of the FITS extension
associated with the table.
