Contains the function - 'start_erl' called by the erl script.

Nothing Erlang-specific, but nice - if you want date/0 and time/0 to give meaningful values (you - also need a TIMEZONE environment setting if GMT isn't - acceptable). For example: <c>putenv "TIMEZONE=CET::-60:033002:102603"</c> sets central european - time.</item> - <item>erts-Vsn/src - Contains source for the above files, and - additionally config.c, driver.h, preload.c and - reclaim.h.
