Hi,

To me that's a step backwards - uname -s or $OS are the correct ways to detect
the operating system. Warren's approach would be fooled if a user defined
$SYSTEMROOT on Win 9x.

Nit picks... FILES=... should probably go nearer the top
On reflection, I think we'll always want it verbose, so we could lose $VERBOSE

That's gotta be it... in principle this is a very simple script!

Paul
