Hi

I read in the older news that the numeric functions real / Re and imag
/ Im for  / Mathematica won't do its job because of some
ambiguity. The same holds for the complex conjugate conj / Conjugate.

Is there a trick to get anyway the algebraic solution of for example
(x1+i*y1)*conj(x2+i*y2) / (x1+i*y1)*Conjugate(x2+i*y2) in Mathematica?


Thanks a lot

Norbert
