[erlang-questions] idea: ml9 (sort of) in the erlang shell

[Ulf Wiger]

I've committed some R12B for the extended shell:

svn co http://svn.ulf.wiger.net/ext_shell/branches/r12b

My testing has been limited, and if the code fails, it probably
won't live up to the new error reporting standards set by R12. (:

But, please, give it a whirl and let me know what you find.

BR,
Ulf W
