 pad_stream::attach_raw_data
        Attach a set of raw data arrays to a pad stream

 Usage:
        strid->attach_raw_data, time_ptr, field_ptr, $
                time_ref_ptr, field_ptr_ref

 Arguments:
        time_ptr        pointer A pointer to the time array (it can
                                optionally be the actual time array,
                                but this is memory hungry).
        field_ptr       pointer A pointer to the field array (it can
                                optionally be the actual field array,
                                but this is memory hungry).
        time_ref_ptr    pointer A pointer to the refcount for the time
                                array. (Ignored if the actual time
                                array is passed).
        field_ref_ptr   pointer A pointer to the refcount for the field
                                array. (Ignored if the actual field
                                array is passed).

 Notes:
        It is the responsibility of the calling routine (usually a
        pad_dataset processing method) to sort out the pointers for the
        time array and hand a pointer with the correct refcount to the
        method.

 History:
        Original: 25/2/00; SJT
        Major rebuild of ref count handling: 8/2/01; SJT
