thanks,
I am using that library. I have checked the program with different vsini values. The only things which I didn't understand is the there is a huge offset in the flux at vsini=0.0 and vsin=10 km/sec. I didn't figure it out where I am making mistake. And this is how I am performing the calculation
dlambda = vsini/c
npoints = ALOG(lammax/lammin)/dlambda+1
interlam = lammin * EXP(dlambda * (DINDGEN(npoints)-1))
interflux = INTERPOL( flux, lam, interlam )
and then get the kernel as
lsf = lsf_rotate(delta_V, vsini)
fold = CONVOL( interflux, lsf, /CENTER, /EDGE_TRUNCATE)
flux_new=INTERPOL(fold,interlam,wave)

The IDL astronomy library has the function LSF_ROTATE
http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/ftp/pro/astro/lsf_rotate.pro
to return a convolution kernel for rotating a stellar spectrum under typical assumptions (e.g. constant limb darkening). You can use one of the many interpolation routines (e.g. interpol()) to do the interpolation.
