Bye, Udo

The Windows version detected is available in the SYSUTILS.PAS unit,
you don't need to go out and call a function to get it!

var
{ Win32 platform identifier.  This will be one of the following
values:
    VER_PLATFORM_WIN32s
    VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_WINDOWS
    VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT
  See WINDOWS.PAS for the numerical values. }
 Win32Platform: Integer = 0;

{ Win32 OS version information -
  see TOSVersionInfo.dwMajorVersion/dwMinorVersion/dwBuildNumber }
  Win32MajorVersion: Integer = 0;
  Win32MinorVersion: Integer = 0;
  Win32BuildNumber: Integer = 0;

{ Win32 OS extra version info string -
  see TOSVersionInfo.szCSDVersion }

  Win32CSDVersion: string = '';
