Function Name Description
installDir Specifies the VEE installation directory.
whichOS Determines the operating system and sends out one of the
following strings: Windows_98, Windows_2000,
Windows_NT, Windows XP.
The program can branch based on these results when
incorporating programs in other languages. For example,
look at
manual49.vee in the examples\manual
directory to see a program that uses whichOS() to make
sure it imports the right type of library. On a PC, it would
import a Dynamic Link Library.
whiclatform Determines the hardware system on which VEE is running,
then returns a string indicating that platform.
whichVersion Specifies the VEE version, which is useful for program
maintenance and debugging.
