Determining OS

[Steve]

Hello,

I have a series of functions that will be deployed on a number of
different machines which may be running Windows, Linux or MacOS. I
need to run a couple of system calls, which will have to change based
on the OS.

Is there a simple function somewhere that returns the OS of the
current local environment? The only way I can think of doing it is to
do a "pwd" and check if the first character is a letter or a slash.
Perhaps there is a more clever option out there...

Thanks in advance,

-Steve

Excellent, thanks!

For the record, the doc page has the functions 'computer', which
returns a string, and the if..then friendly 'ispc', 'ismac', 'isunix'
as well. Thanks for prompt reply!
