Hello Group,

I'm making a menu in Director. From this menu the customer gets the
possibility to save some PDF's to his harddisk. This functionality is
possible by a Xtra-plugin called "Buddy API".

But now my problem; The menu is PC / MAC compatible, and I would like
to be able to find out which operating system is installed on their pc.
 Because, if no Acrobat reader is installed I have to provide the
correct link to the right installfiles (WIN, MAC 9.0, MAC OSX), also
available on the CD.

So, director has to know which OS is running, and then update a link to
the correct installFile

I have the impression that Buddy API only detects which version of
Windows is running... 

Thx for any help on this
