sorry, don't know how that happened...

I would like to determine very specificly how my app is being run.
E.g.
- On 10.4.4 on intel using rosetta
- On 10.4.6 ppc
- On 10.3.9 ppc
The app is a universal binary where the intel part is compiled for
Tiger (of course) and the ppc part is comppiled for 10.3 and linked
against MacOSX10.3.9.sdk
I tried using
if (floor(NSAppKitVersionNumber) >= 800)
to find out if I am running on Tiger, but when I start the app
using Rosetta, it still says I'm on Tiger (of course).
So, how do I find all these out?
Well, I'm not a Cocoa expert (beginner, in fact) but you might be
able to get something out of uname (3).
Type "man 3 uname" in the terminal.
"uname -a" on my system gives
Darwin powerbook 8.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.6.0: Tue Mar 7
16:58:48 PST 2006;
root:xnu-792.6.70.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc
I don't know how the Darwin kernel version relates to the OS X
version (eg. 10.4.4 or 10.4.6). Mine is 10.4.6.
Surely there's some API in Cocoa??? If not, hope this helps.
