Sorry for posting on the wrong list. I'm not sure what list it belongs on to tell the truth. I naively thought there was some simple kernel call that would give all this info without having to write parsing functions - something along the lines of sysctl or Gestalt. The docs are overwhelming when you're looking for a quick and dirty solution for what used to be simpler in the good ole' days of OS 9.

The question is, as usual, why do you want to know this?

Unless you're presenting it for user consumption, there are finer- grained mechanisms for determining release to release behavioural differences.
