Re: OS Version script

Curious

On a couple of machines here (one running 10.4.8, the other 10.5.1) your script correctly returns the same version that "About This Mac" shows.

I wonder what this line returns:

	system version of (system info)

Hi all,

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?
