;  NAME:
;      FTPRINT
;  PURPOSE:
;       Procedure to print specified columns and rows of a FITS table
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;       FTPRINT, h, tab, columns, [ rows, TEXTOUT = ]
;
; INPUTS:
;       h - Fits header for table, string array
;       tab - table array 
;       columns - string giving column names, or vector giving
;               column numbers (beginning with 1).  If string 
;               supplied then column names should be separated by comma's.
;       rows - (optional) vector of row numbers to print.  If
;               not supplied or set to scalar, -1, then all rows
;               are printed.
;
; OUTPUTS:
;       None
;
; OPTIONAL INPUT KEYWORDS:
;       TEXTOUT controls the output device; see the procedure TEXTOPEN
;
; SYSTEM VARIABLES:
;       Uses nonstandard system variables !TEXTOUT and !TEXTOPEN
;       These will be defined (using ASTROLIB) if not already present.
;       Set !TEXTOUT = 3 to direct output to a disk file.   The system
;       variable is overriden by the value of the keyword TEXTOUT
;
; EXAMPLES:
;
;       ftprint,h,tab,'STAR ID,RA,DEC'    ;print id,ra,dec for all stars
;       ftprint,h,tab,[2,3,4],indgen(100) ;print columns 2-4 for 
;                                         ;first 100 stars
;       ftprint,h,tab,text="stars.dat"    ;Convert entire FITS table to
;                                         ;an ASCII file named STARS.DAT
;
; PROCEDURES USED:
;       FTSIZE, FTINFO, TEXTOPEN, TEXTCLOSE
;
; RESTRICTIONS: 
;       (1) Program does not check whether output length exceeds output
;               device capacity (e.g. 80 or 132).
;       (2) Column heading may be truncated to fit in space defined by
;               the FORMAT specified for the column
;       (3) Program does not check for null values
;
; HISTORY:
;       version 1  D. Lindler Feb. 1987
;       Accept undefined values of rows, columns   W. Landsman August 1997
;       New FTINFO calling sequence    W. Landsman   May 2000
;       Parse scalar string with STRSPLIT   W. Landsman  July 2002
;       Fix format display of row number  W. Landsman March 2003
;       Fix format display of row number again  W. Landsman May 2003
