Not AFAIK, Viktoras... the reason is that it varies per platform. For example, on the current crop of Apple computers, the machine itself can run MacOS X, Windows (natively through Boot Camp), Windows/Linux (virtualized through Parallels or Crossover), or OS 7/8/9 (emulated through SheepShaver). On Windows, you can run Mac OS 7/8/9? (emulated through Basilisk II), etc. So since there are many different third party emulators/virtualizers for different platforms, and since those programs generally work with virtual hard disks in a file, it is nearly impossible to determine what OS has been loaded on the hard disk in the file.
