Subject: [ruby-talk:7486] Re: Getting name of OS ruby was built on

Thanks!  That works.

BTW, is there any way to tell what OS that Ruby is currently running on?
(as opposed to what it was built on).  ie. can I tell if the box I'm
running on is WinNT, Win98, Win2000 or Win95?  The methods presented only
show where it was built (which is of course what I asked for) and in the
case of the various Win's the return string will always be the same.

I suppose that after I've determined that it is some kind of Windows
platfrom I could then run `system ver` and check the result.
