Maybe a stupid question again. I got following script part:
on getOS()
try
set the hexData to system attribute "sysv"
set hexString to {}
repeat 4 times
set hexString to ((hexData mod 16) as string) & hexString
set hexData to hexData div 16
end repeat
set the OSversion to the hexString as number
log {"OSversion", OSversion}
on error theError
log {"OS version not found", theError}
set OSversion to 1000
end try
return OSversion
end getOS
running this on my machine the above returns 1049
looking at the "About This Mac" tells me 10.4.11.
It's not that important - but what's happening there?
It's an anomaly with the way the system version was previously packed
into a 32-bit integer.
New ones are "sys1", "sys2", "sys3" as in:
{system attribute "sys1", system attribute "sys2", system attribute
"sys3"}
--> {10, 5, 2}
or
do shell script "sw_vers -productVersion"
for text.
