Determining Number of Factors Exploratory in Factor Analysis

Determining the number of factors in exploratory factor analysis is always difficult.  Is it possible to add options to do the parallel analysis (Horn 1965) and minimum average partial (MAP) correlation analysis (Velicer 1976) in the multivariate factor analysis platform?  These more advanced procedures will add valuable information to determine a proper solution to the thorny problem of determining number of factors in exploratory factor analysis.

I am interested in this as well - it seems as though there aren't any analyses available for factor analysis
