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

 Usage:
        strid->attach_raw_data, rate, time_ptr, field_ptr, $
                tform_ptr, ttime_ptr, time_ref_ptr, field_ref_ptr, $
                tform_ref_ptr 

 arguments:
        rate    float/ptr       Either the raw data array or a
                                pointer to it.
        time_ptr        pointer A pointer to the time array (it can
                                optionally be the actual time array,
                                but this is memory hungry, and will
                                prevent plotting unless averaging is
                                used.)
        field_ptr       pointer A pointer to the field array (it can
                                optionally be the actual field array,
                                but this is memory hungry).
        tform_ptr       pointer A pointer to the transform array (can
                                be the actual array but this uses more
                                memory).
        ttime_ptr       pointer A pointer to the transform times.
        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).
        tform_ref_ptr   pointer A pointer to the refcount for the
                                transform and its times

 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
        Split into pad and pad_look: 28/2/00; SJT
        Major changes to refcount handling: 9/2/01; SJT
