     Can anyone tell me the best way to detect the host Operating
System in DJGPP?  I know about _go32_info_block.run_mode but it
doesn't seem to be able to give me the exact information I need.  I'd
like to be able to detect Windows 95/NT, OS/2 and Linux/DosEmu.
     Also is it possible to use the Windows 95 print manager from
console applications with DJGPP?  Wouldn't I need a windows.h file or
something?  Printing straight to LPT1 can realy mess up things if
you're already printing something in Windows.   I thought for sure
this topic had been discussed before, but I checked the faq and mail
archives with no avail.  Any help would be appreciated, thanks..
