I am looking for a PCA routine that implements the Varimax rotation.
The idlastro directory includes a PCA routine, but it does not seem to
support any rotation of the data- Does anyone have one out there? Does
the current version of idl or pvwave supprt such a function?

Kelly,
The newest version of IDL (version 4.0, due out soon) has functions
for computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Would this help you?
"NO" is the expected response since you don't have a copy of version 4.0,
but if you did, are these the kind of functions you need?
Do you have any good PCA references that you could pass along, I am
always interested in obtaining better references on this subject.
