some comments on the execution flow of XMCQDPT2 computations
can be found here

http://classic.chem.msu.su/gran/gamess/xmcqdpt_intro.pdf

and in the updated Firefly v. 8.0.0 documentation:

http://classic.chem.msu.su/gran/gamess/docs.zip

In brief, XMCQDPT2 code typically performs canonicalization of MOs.
This requires some additional computations i.e. the extra CASCI-type
integral transformation, CASCI computations, first order state-
averaged density matrix construction, Fock matrix construction and
finally its block-diagonalization. The point is that XMCQDPT2 code
employs its own sets of CSFs and MOs. These MOs can be found in file
MCQD63, and the definition of CSFs can be found in file MCQD64.

What you asked for is the following part of the XMCQDPT2's output:

 *** EIGENVECTORS ***
 FIRST ORDER
 .............................................................
These are CASCI vectors 

 SECOND ORDER
 .................................................................. 
These are rotated CASCI vectors you are asking for for

Kind regards,
Alex Granovsky
