To distinguish the host OS (XP or Vista) for an application I have used
#! /bin/bash
case `uname` in
*NT-5*)
OS_VER=XP
;;
*NT-6*)
OS_VER=Vista
;;
esac
echo $OS_VER
Now I find I need to distinguish between Vista and 7 but uname does not
provide
a discriminant (CYGWIN_NT-6.1 in both cases, I think?).
Can anybody suggest how to do this, please?
Thank you.
Fergus
PS Can anybody running 98 with Cygwin [1.5] tell me what uname gives them?

Vista is 6.0.
