Interestingly, there are still 12 procedures in the V8.0 ITTVIS
library distribution (e.g. write_gif.pro) that test for !VERSION.OS EQ
'MacOS'. These go back to the pre- Mac OS X days (pre- 2001) when
the Mac OS was not Unix-based, and there were a much larger number of
difference between Mac IDL and IDL on other operating systems. I
suspect that these procedures still work with current Macs, because
after not recognizing !VERSION.OS EQ 'darwin' they will default to
Unix.

It is not what you asked for, but in case anyone comes here looking
for the contents of !version in Linux (64-bit):
ARCH STRING 'x86_64'
OS STRING 'linux'
OS_FAMILY STRING 'unix'
OS_NAME STRING 'linux'
RELEASE STRING '8.0'
BUILD_DATE STRING 'Jun 18 2010'
MEMORY_BITS INT 64
FILE_OFFSET_BITS INT 64

Thanks, Ben. :-)
