<QUOTE>
How can I tell from Arev what the OS is? Currently I am piping the VER command, but sometimes I am getting blanks. I would specifically like to know how to detect Windows NT, Windows 98, and Windows 2000.

<QUOTE>Victor,



There are standard environment variables set from 

within these products - you might be able to use

these (eg. winbootdir & windir). Otherwise, the 

"DOS version" of all these products differs eg.

Win 95 returns DOS versions 7.0 or DOS 7.10. 

Code below.



Steve



DOSVER=\02000000000000000000EB2290000000\

DOSVER:=\00000000000000000000000000000000\

DOSVER:=\0000000000000000000000240000B430\

DOSVER:=\CD21BD110050B400E83D002EC646002E\

DOSVER:=\2EFF063000455886E0B400E82A001E8C\

DOSVER:=\CA8EDABE11002E8B0E3000B40F2EFF1E\

DOSVER:=\0A0057A5A45F2E8B0E300033C033D2B4\

DOSVER:=\102EFF1E0A001FCBB400BB0A0033C933\

DOSVER:=\D2F7F352410BC075F65A80FA0A730680\

DOSVER:=\C230EB049080C2372E8856002EFF0630\

DOSVER:=\0045E2E5C3\

OPEN 'BP' TO HANDLE THEN

  WRITE DOSVER TO HANDLE,'$DOSVER'

END



* AREV syntax

DECLARE FUNCTION DOSVER

VERSION=DOSVER()
