Subject: host OS signature available thru text_io?
Date: 13 May 88 14:41:47 GMT	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8805131445.AA23183@oldajpo.sei.cmu.edu> (raw)

We aspire to build a piece of Ada software
that will be portable across VMS, Unix and DOS.
Is there a way to determine the host OS through text_io?
SYSTEM.SYSTEM_NAME seems to be peculiar to the
compiler and we want to be able to use any
validated compiler so I conclude the package system
isn't of any help.
  Any other ideas on getting a host os signature?
(with a smile; Ada was designed for portability so I'm
sure there is a way) Thanks in advance.
regards, sam harbaugh
