not the most elegant way to do things but,

I suppose you could run an applescript

tell app "system events"

set pp to processes whose name is "4th Dimension"

if (count pp) is not 0 then return classic of item 1 of pp

end tell

Hi,

Is it possible to detect whether 4D 2003.8 is running within classic

mode under OSX?

PLATFORM PROPERTIES is returning OS 9 but I'm trying to detect the

difference between:

* OSX

* OS9

* OS9 running in classic on OSX.

Is this achievable?

Thanks,

Nick
