FWIW, the implementation that I used for OSProcess is:
OSProcess class>>isWindows
OSProcess class>>isUnix
OSProcess class>>isUnixMac
OSProcess class>>isNonUnixMac
OSProcess class>>isRiscOS (1)
OSProcess class>>isOS2 (2)
And yes, Squeak does run on platforms other than unix and win32. Hopefully
it is not too much of a stretch to envision #isSqueakNOS, #isPlan9, #isVMS,
#isChrome, and #isTripos (3). And Tripos was the host for BCPL (4) which was a
host for early Smalltalk, which begat Squeak, which inspired Pharo, which
leads us to this discussion, so give some love to Tripos and also to Martin
Richards (5) who continues to advance the development of several of these
seminal technologies.
