		| Abstract: | A flexible and efficient scheme allowing arbitrary FITS Binary and ASCII Tables to be converted to arbitrary C structures at run-time is presented. This scheme has been successfully implemented and used with \htmllink{Shiva}{http://www- sdss.fnal.gov:8000/shiva/doc/www/shiva.home.html} (Survey Human Interface and Visualization Environment), a package developed by Fermilab for the analysis of Sloan Digital Sky Survey data. |
