I search for a simple way to know under which OS i'm running?
Because some specific code should be executed under given OS
For most cases you could use:
{$ifdef win32}
// Do windows specific stuff
{$endif}
{$ifdef Unix}
// Do Unix stuff
{$endif}
- does the current os support drive letters (I made a hak for this)
Only windows works with drive letters. But don´t worry about it. If
you are dealing with drive letters directly your code is probably very
wrong.
- what directory structure I should adopt? (this one is a complete
different logic set)
example: c:\app\images or /usr/local/images should be used?
I assume you are trying to store some data files for the application, right?
This is becoming a FAQ. Wait a few minutes and I will write a complete
solution for this on the Wiki.
Or, is there a unit I did not see where I can call a function to know
the information about the OS.
There are some cross-platform functions to retrive a suitable
directory for configuration files and things like that:
