Hi John,

Sorry it took me so long to address this.  As I mentioned in my last
email, I didn't do much work on the software during the ridiculous
US government shutdown which left me furloughed.

This was just a bit of sloppiness on my part.  While trying to make
some improvements to the PCA part of Demeter, I simply left the target
transform function in a non-wroking state.  Sorry 'bout that.

It will be fixed in the next release.  If you would like to apply the
fix imemdiately, you can do so by hand.  Do the following:

   1. Download
      https://raw.github.com/bruceravel/demeter/master/lib/Demeter/PCA.pm

   2. Save that as
      C:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\Demeter\PCA.pm

   3. Download
 
https://raw.github.com/bruceravel/demeter/master/lib/Demeter/UI/Athena/PCA.pm

   4. Save that as
      C:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\Demeter\UI\Athena\PCA.pm

Both of those will overwrite existing files.

Be careful that your browser does not change the filename to
PCA.tt.txt or some such.  The filenames should be exactly as shown.

Note that both files are called PCA.pm, although they live in
different folders.  Don't get them confused -- they may not be
swapped.
