Dear Allan,
Sorry - the reason I missed you out of the summary is that your original
mail didn't have the [BIOMCH-L] tag on it and so got seperated from the
rest.
I do think your method is unnecessarily complicated though. Am I missing
something? e.g. why do you need to define a unit vector?
Incidentally, I now realise that the simplest possible method is:
angle = ATAN2(x,y)
If angle < 0 THEN angle = angle + 2 pi
This was submitted by Zong-Ming Li, although several people suggested
it. I have checked it, and included it in the spreadsheet:
