Which Operating System Am I On? [message #3557]

I am writing a tool that needs to work on a variety of operating Systems
(e.g. Unix, OSF/1, Ultrix, VMS, etc.). If I can find out through IDL
which system I am on, I could use some IF structures to chose when I have
machine specific commands to perform (like SPAWNS). Is there any way to
get this information. None of the system varaibles seem to store it?

Thanks
