Hi there.

I would like to know if there is a way (using DJGPP of course) to see 
which operating system a program is running under. The reason is that 
here at my work, we are using Pegasus mail system, and as some of the 
employees use Windows 3.11, we all have to use the 16-bit version 
(the program is run from the Netware Application Launcher, and is run 
from the main login script).

But, if we could determine which operating system the user was using, 
we (well actually they, I'm not in the support department :-) could 
launch the 16-bit or 32-bit version of Pegasus whichever version 
would be better.

Yours Faithfully.
Finn Kettner.

PS. We are only using Windows 3.11, W95 and WinNT, and it is the 
destinction between the three operating systems I'd like to make.
