RE: how to get OS name ?

Isn't the Gestalt Manager still around?

Yup, sure is:
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Carbon/oss/GestaltManager/gestalt
manager.html

There's a lot of great stuff you can get from the Gestalt Manager... One of
my first mac applications was a program that just probed every single value
from the Gestalt Manager. :-) Ahh... good times.
