[erlang-questions] Oddity from erlc (R12B-1), can't read a .rel file.

[Jay Nelson]

The .rel file is used if you want to make a 'release' or a 'target  
system'.  It lists all the dependencies so they can be bundled up  
into a single tar.gz file for deployment.  You would only need this  
for distributing software to other machines, other customers or for  
embedded deployment.

Look in the OTP System Principles manual.  This section is specific  
to .rel files:
