I don't remember which variable to use, but if you type SET in a DOS window, you list all the env vars that are set in your system. The variable "WINDIR=" is set by the 3.1/9x branch. Pick a variable named "STEPPING=" or something like that (indicates the CPU stepping and is maintained by the kernel), read this variable using the GETENV() function and see if it contain something. If the string is not empty, you know that you run a NT flavour of Windows. Fred. -- Remove OBVIOUS from e-mail before reply Attached WORD documents are sent to /dev/null :-)
