Re: NT, VM, Visit Folder, & Redisplay

APA> What's wrong with r-e-b to include runtime version as follows: (if (eq system-type 'windows-nt) (shell-command-to-string "ver") (if (file-exists-p "/etc/osversion") ; SONY NEWS-OS (shell-command-to-string "cat /etc/osversion") (shell-command-to-string "uname -a"))) That looks good to me. Maybe we should wrap it in a condition-case, say (condition-case nil (if (eq system-type 'windows-nt) (shell-command-to-string "ver") (if (file-exists-p "/etc/osversion") ; SONY NEWS-OS (shell-command-to-string "cat /etc/osversion") (shell-command-to-string "uname -a"))) (error "Couldn't get runtime system information! Please include hardware, OS, and version information in your report. Also, information about how to generate such information would be greatly appreciated.")) -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
