This method has the advantage over the others mentioned here in that it
allows you to do comparisons with integers, not strings. If you're not
interested in the version as a string but just doing a check to see if a
user's OS version is recent enough to use your script, stop right there.
set num to tell application "Finder" to system attribute "sysv"
if num < 4129 then
beep
display dialog "You must have OS 10.2.1 or higher to use this
version of Smile." buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1 with icon 0
error number -128
end if
