Ratetable creation

Can anyone can help me in creation ratetable object assuming, that I have
mortality rates organized in standard way by year, gender and age (0-99).

Look at technical report #63, "Expected Survival Based on Hazard Rates", 
Department of Health Science Research, Mayo Clinic.  You can find it on their 
web page www.mayo.edu/biostatistics.  It has a detailed example.
