The _Gestalt selector for A/UX version is 'a/ux' - undefined result means no A/UX... 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. 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' -- I remain: h+@nada.kth.se (Jon W{tte) (Yes, a brace !) "It's not entirely useless.
