With René's ooRexx5 buiild on MacOS X we have a new operating system name "DARWIN", which parse source will return.
>From some older Rexx scripts I can see that we seem to have had builds which returned "MACOS" as the first parse source token. Do we want "DARWIN" to be the OS indicator for our new Mac OS build, or do we want to use the previous "MACOS" name (backwards compatibility)? Currently all Windows builds return "WindowsNT", all Linux flavours (Red-hat-based, Debian-based, etc.) return "LINUX". Non-Linux Unixes, like AIX, HP-UX, or Mac OS, seem to have used to return their own OS names. I'm also noting that our code base in some areas ignores anything except Linux or Windows. E. g. some regression are either Linux or Windows-specific. Or e. g. DARWIN has neither a SysWinVer nor a SysLinVer function .. Your comments are welcome .. Erich
