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.
