[erlang-questions] package namespaces question

[Angel Alvarez]

Gracias Enrique!

But how can i import all system modules and apps?

Has gs become lib.gs or something alike?

Well, the URLS from 2004 were bit old ive just found the current version at http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/packages.html  

I saw no prior examples of packcages used on the list certainly not back in 2008/2009 so an " almost deprecated" notice at the top 
of the page is all i need to stop at here and continue reading other things....
