ctable decimal alignment

Question

I'm trying to replicate siunitx's decimal alignmnent in tables, using ctables.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ctable}
\begin{document}
\ctable[] {rc} {}{
  \FL \textbf{Data} & \textbf{Distance}
  \ML one & 1.1
  \ML ten & 10.1
  \ML hundred & 100.1
  \LL
}
\end{document}

which results in:

this is what I get

And I'm looking to get somethign that looks closer to this answer.

ctable just uses tabular internally so you could use siunitx or dcolumn to do the decimal alignment as in a normal tabular. — David Carlisle, Jan 09 '13 at 17:23
I (mistakenly) assumed that one had to use tabular to get siunitx to work. All the examples I had seen used tabular only, and a cursory search didn't give me any results.
@DavidCarlisle, feel free to answer the question and I'll accept it. — Felix, Jan 09 '13 at 18:31
@egreg presumably the OP prefers the interface of ctable compared to the 'regular' tabular code... — cmhughes, Jan 09 '13 at 20:33

ctable just uses tabular internally so you could use siunitx or dcolumn to do the decimal alignment as in a normal tabular.

\ctable[] {rS} {
  }{
  \FL \textbf{Data} & \textbf{Distance}
  \ML one & 1.1
  \ML ten & 10.1
  \ML hundred & 100.1
  \LL
}
