Dear list,

is there a way if a program is installed on the computer using Lua.

I have the following sample:

  \starttext
  \startluacode
  filename = tex.jobname .. ".pdf"
  os.exec("dir " .. filename)
  \stopluacode
  \stoptext

Is there a way to wrap os.exec() in the sample so that it only runs if
"dir" is available?

I know that os.name would be an option here, but not in my real world
document.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
