sorry for posting the same thing twice under different subjects, but i
think this is important...

many of idl programs have to be adapted due do the non existing
backwards compatibility of atan (and probably many other functions) .
one wouldn't expect a change in such a fundamental function. so now
atan(z, /phase) gives the same result as atan(z) in older versions did,
where z is (re,im)... this is worse than stupid. this is dangerous.

or does anybody know away to circumvent the new "features" of IDL 5.6?
