What is the recommended method for determining if a device has the new NFVS (32 byte block size) vs. the old NVFS (512 byte block size). I know that the PalmOS version has been revved to 5.4.7 for the newer incarnation of NVFS, but using FtrGet with sysFtrNumROMVersion does not yield the correct value (I'm not able to get the third version parameter). I did find that I could use SysOSGetVersionString() to retrieve a string value like "v. 5.4.7". This works but I would much rather use a numerical comparison logic than a string comparison logic.
