I've updated the Erlang programming language on Athena to R11-B5. From
my message to users:

Erlang on Athena has been updated to the R11B-5 release. To access the 
R11B-5 Erlang shell/runtime now:

        add erlang
        erl -ver R11B-5

At the erl > prompt, you can launch the toolbar by typing:

toolbar:start().

and you can exit the runtime by typing 

halt().

There is introductory information with examples at 
http://web.mit.edu/erlang_vR10B-10/white_paper.html and an online Erlang
course at http://www.erlang.org/course/course.html. Other information
is available at the Erlang Web site http://www.erlang.org

Local documentation with release notes starts at 
http://web.mit.edu/erlang_vR11B-5/arch/sun4x_510/lib/erlang/doc/index.html

I plan to make this the default version during IAP 2008.
