; NAME:
;       FTINFO
; PURPOSE:
;       Return an informational structure from a FITS ASCII table header.
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;       ftinfo,h,ft_str, [Count = ]
;
; INPUTS:
;       h - FITS ASCII table header, string array
;
; OUTPUTS:
;       ft_str - IDL structure with extracted info from the FITS ASCII table
;                header.   Tags include
;        .tbcol - starting column position in bytes
;        .width - width of the field in bytes
;        .idltype - idltype of field.
;                       7 - string, 4- real*4, 3-integer, 5-real*8
;        .tunit - string unit numbers
;        .tscal - scale factor
;        .tzero - zero point for field
;        .tnull - null value for the field
;        .tform - format for the field
;        .ttype - field name
;
; OPTIONAL OUTPUT KEYWORD:
;       Count - Integer scalar giving number of fields in the table
; PROCEDURES USED:
;       GETTOK(), SXPAR()
; NOTES:
;       This procedure underwent a major revision in May 2000, and **THE
;       NEW CALLING SEQUENCE IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE OLD ONE **
; HISTORY:
;       D. Lindler  July, 1987
;       Converted to IDL V5.0   W. Landsman   September 1997
;       Major rewrite, return structure   W. Landsman   April 2000
