Hi Everyone,

     I concur with John Vokey's suggestions.  I would add the following 
too:

-    Functions to create NxN Identity matrices, and 1xN or Nx1 vectors of 
ones.
-    A function to create a matrix of deviations-from-mean from a data 
matrix.
-    A function to create uncentered and centrered covariance matrices 
from a data matrix.

     Regards,

          Greg
