Hi,

Thanks to Corinna, Joe, Nicholas, Warren and especially Igor, this
script should now be good enough. I've successfully tested it on XP
only.

BTW, this version uses uname to get the OS - the most reliable way.
Also, if for some reason a user wanted to lie to the script, uname would
be the obvious choice without having to read to source.

Paul
