Hello, This message is regarding my post about a complex math error in IDL. I have just had a response from RSI and I am happy to announce that version 4.0 of IDL fixes this problem. I rather thought that it would since RSI had announced a double precision complex data type and that would likely have required a significant re-write of the math operations and functions. I don't have access to WAVE, but I had some friends try the problem on their set-up which, I believe, is the most current WAVE version. They found that raising a complex number to a power is an illegal operation in their version of WAVE. So you can't get into trouble because you just can't do that kind of math! ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- Garry J.
