Hi,

Could someone tell me how to find the operating system using Skill?

Thanks!

     Hi Khurana,

    i don't know about any Skill-function that directly returns informations about the OS,
    what about the following:

    oscall = ipcBeginProcess("/bin/uname")
    osval = ipcReadProcess(oscall)

    osval now contains OS information for further use (after removing the "\n").
    The "uname"-call can be modified to get more/other informations.

    leHiAbout() does not return any useful information, it just opens the splash-screen,
    absVersion(), according to its name, seems to be limited to the abstract generator.

    kind regards

    Stefan
