Is there an approved way to test for A/UX? Eudora has long been incompatible with it, and I found out why today; A/UX barfs at me if I call TcpSend with more than a few (8 is too many, 4 is ok) WDS entries. Since MacOS hasn't any problem with 50, I'm very reluctant to limit myself to only 4. So, I need to know if A/UX is running. I have neither an A/UX system nor A/UX manuals, and I can't find the answer in IM or the Technotes. Help, please? I would vastly prefer an answer that did NOT involve Gestalt, since it's verboten for me to have documentation or glue for such a macho trap. -- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: s-dorner@uiuc.edu UUCP: uunet!uiucuxc!uiuc.edu!s-dorner

The _Gestalt selector for A/UX version is 'a/ux' - undefined result
means no A/UX...

Hey, the glue and docs are ftpable ! Just check the TechNotes !
I could mail you IM VI if you want me to, but it's a little on
the large side :-)
There is a trap called "_AUXDispatch" which you could test for. It
can be used for making A/UX system calls from MacOS applications.
I don't have the trap # for it tho'
