Yesterday I sent a little program *with* *source* to Steven
Grimm that finds out exactly that. It should be posted to
comp.binaries.atari.st and comp.sources.atari.st really soon
now.

The program TOS_VERS shows TOS version number (with date and
nickname (e. g. "Rainbow TOS")), GEMDOS version number and AES
version number. The program is really short and should be self
explanatory. If it is not, an article by Ken Badertscher is
appended that explains how things are to be done. Not to
mention that everything is of course perfectly legal.
