 Hi Bengt,
I can not say that it is intellectually satisfying :>) but it will do
the trick... Thanks .
I forgot that lib was deprecated.

More generally speaking,
- do really need erlc to evaluate the ~/.erlang file at start ?
- Is there a plan to replace the lib module functions in another module
or in erts ? and so to have a simple way to know if erl or erlc is
running...
