; NAME: 
;	FXBCREATE
; Purpose     : 
;	Open a new binary table at the end of a FITS file.
; Explanation : 
;	Write a binary table extension header to the end of a disk FITS file,
;	and leave it open to receive the data.
;
;	The FITS file is opened, and the pointer is positioned just after the
;	last 2880 byte record.  Then the binary header is appended.  Calls to
;	FXBWRITE will append the binary data to this file, and then FXBFINISH
;	will close the file.
;
; Use         : 
;	FXBCREATE, UNIT, FILENAME, HEADER
; Inputs      : 
;	FILENAME = Name of FITS file to be opened.
;	HEADER	 = String array containing the FITS binary table extension
;		   header.
; Opt. Inputs : 
;	None.
; Outputs     : 
;	UNIT	 = Logical unit number of the opened file.
;       EXTENSION= Extension number of newly created extension.
; Opt. Outputs: 
;	None.
; Keywords    : 
;	ERRMSG	  = If defined and passed, then any error messages will be
;		    returned to the user in this parameter rather than
;		    depending on the MESSAGE routine in IDL.  If no errors are
;		    encountered, then a null string is returned.  In order to
;		    use this feature, ERRMSG must be defined first, e.g.
;
;			ERRMSG = ''
;			FXBCREATE, ERRMSG=ERRMSG, ...
;			IF ERRMSG NE '' THEN ...
;
; Calls       : 
;	FXADDPAR, FXBFINDLUN, FXBPARSE, FXFINDEND
; Common      : 
;	Uses common block FXBINTABLE--see "fxbintable.pro" for more
;	information.
; Restrictions: 
;	The primary FITS data unit must already be written to a file.  The
;	binary table extension header must already be defined (FXBHMAKE), and
;	must match the data that will be written to the file.
; Side effects: 
;	None.
