Is it possible to have a windows API call that tells you which version of windows the user is using? Similarly is this possible to do in other OS''s? thanks -jonnii

I think this will work, but I''ve never tried it before. If it does, it should be OS independent.

  
#include <iostream>
#include <sys/utsname.h>

int main()
 {
  struct utsname info;

  if(uname(&info)>=0)
   {
    cout << "System:  " << info.sysname << endl;
    cout << "Release: " << info.release << endl;
    cout << "Version: " << info.version << endl;
   }
  else
   cout << "Something went horribly wrong." << endl;

  return 0;
 }
Chess is played by three people. Two people play the game; the third provides moral support for the pawns. The object of the game is to kill your opponent by flinging captured pieces at his head. Since the only piece that can be killed is a pawn, the two armies agree to meet in a pawn-infested area (or even a pawn shop) and kill as many pawns as possible in the crossfire. If the game goes on for an hour, one player may legally attempt to gouge out the other

utsname.h is a UNIX header file.
