Thank you. That's clarified my confusion. I'm just on an older version
than that documentation. I can get this version number :
erlang:system_info(version).
"5.5"
And although I seem to be on R11 something I have to admit I can't
immediately see how to test whether it is R11B-0, but that sounds
plausible. I remember some erlang-questions mailing list thing about
this but can't find the thread. Ah, yes, from my notes about my
install process I see it is R11B0. Thank you.
Richard.
