Is there an Applescript statement that will tell me what OS is running? I will be running either 9.2.2 or Classic on Jaguar, but need to determine what version my program is running on at run time.
Thanks again all!

Hi,
I think the Apple System Profiler (in the Utilities folder) may help you out. You may need different scripts for OS 9 and Mac OS X, but a try statement should solve the problem there.
Below the script I use when I report bugs with developers.

Bye for now,

– This part of the scripts launches the ASP and puts the report into a variable.
tell application “Apple System Profiler”
activate
set newReport to system profile
set theReportText to newReport as text
close newReport saving no
quit
end tell
– The 4 lines below put the report on the clipboard.
tell application “Finder”
activate
set the clipboard to theReportText
end tell
do shell script “sw_vers”
Try the Applescript Resources routines at
http://www.apple.com/applescript/guidebook/sbrt/pgs/sbrt.06.htm
There’s lots of other good stuff there, also.
Jim
which, of course, works well under Mac OS 9
ahh look at the name of the forum AppleScript | OS X
There is also :
system attribute "sysv"
But don’t ask me how to decipher it I dont know, but willing to learn …
