O/S Detection
Is there a simple method of determining the O/S from within a Delphi app? Code snippets appreciated, general advice also helps :)
Thanks,

Use The GetVersionEx API call...
Var
OS : TOSVersionInfo;
Begin
OS.dwVersionInfoSize := SizeOf(OS);
GetVersionEx(OS);
Case OS.dwPlatformID Of
VER_PLATFORM_WIN32S : ; //Windows 3.1x
VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_WINDOWS
VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT : ; //NT Architecture
End;
End;
Var
OS : TOSVersionInfo;
Begin
OS.dwVersionInfoSize := SizeOf(OS);
GetVersionEx(OS);
Case OS.dwPlatformID Of
VER_PLATFORM_WIN32S : ; //Windows 3.1x
VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_WINDOWS
VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT : ; //NT Architecture
End;
End;

The JCL contains a function for that (among many other things).
