is it possible to detect which version of windows is running when launching
an turbo pascal 7 application?

i wrote a turbo 7 application years ago that still sees a lot of use.
however, it croaks when it tries to initialize the sound -- apparently
windows NT/XP hates the SMIX sound library.  i'd like to make the
application still useable under NT/XP (it works fine under 31/9x/ME), i
figured a quick hack would be to disable the sound under these noncompatible
OS'.

on a similar note, does anyone know a sound library for good old TP7 that
works under NT/XP?

any assistance greatly appreciated.
