Description
Current this function only handles PS_META_S32, PS_META_F32, PS_META_F64, &
PS_META_BOOL while silently ignoring other datatypes. Please add support for
PS_META_STR and generate an error message for unsupported types.

I don't personally have much desire for direct vector support but Paul may... Paul?

I think vector support is important to be able to read Ed's astrometry tables.

Added both string and vector support for both read and writing of binary tables.
Added error messages for remaining unsupported types found in the input metadata.
Fix is in CVS.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.

Added support for strings in psFitsWriteTable. Did basic positive tests; will add more and beef up error
messages.
Also, currently psFitsWriteTable doesn't support psVectors but FITS tables could; is that a strong desire?
