Declare a Function for NT only

OK I have two functions that use NetApi32.dll but the code i have will only work on NT, How can i write it so that if the exe is running on a 9x machine the functions wont get called.
The Functions are

function NetShareEnum(servername: PWideChar; level: DWORD; bufptr: PBYTE;
prefmaxlen: DWORD; entriesread: PDWORD; totalentries: PDWORD;
resume_handle: PDWORD): DWORD; stdcall; external 'netapi32.dll' Name 'NetShareEnum';

function NetApiBufferFree(Buffer: Pointer): DWORD;
stdcall; external 'netapi32.dll' Name 'NetApiBufferFree';

If you want IsNT function to return true for 2000/XP then:
...
if osv.dwMajorVersion >= 4 then result := true;
...

MajorVersion 4 is also used for Win95/98/ME and NT4.
The line should be :
if (OsInfoEx.dwPlatformId = VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT) and (Osv.dwMajorVersion = 4) then
result:=true;

For Win2000 and XP you should use VerifyVersionInfo
.

OK, Thanx for the help; I actually have code like that already and am using it in such a manner for other problems, but after a long break from the code and looking at what is being said, i figured out what i needed to do.
Thanx
