[Wien] Orientation of EFG tensor

Dear all, does anyone know how to get the orientation of the 
principal axes of the EFG tensor with respect to the hyperfine 
magnetic field in Wien2k? I need this information in order to compare 
EFG calculations with NMR experimental data. Below is an excerpt from 
the output file of the EFG calculations in my system. I didn't find 
anywhere the explanations for the parameters named "MAIN DIRECTIONS 
OF THE EFG" and "ANGLE WITH OLD X-AXIS". I assume the EFG value given 
corresponds to the principal component Vzz, am I right?

Thank you for the help.
