AREV Specific

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.

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:=\C230EB049080C2372E8856002EFF0630\

DOSVER:=\0045E2E5C3\

OPEN 'BP' TO HANDLE THEN
WRITE DOSVER TO HANDLE,'$DOSVER'
END

* AREV syntax

DECLARE FUNCTION DOSVER

VERSION=DOSVER()

Thanks, Steve. Seems to work like a charm.
