How to verify Operating System?

[MEGUIA]

Hi

I'm using a batch file to install a silent program in the computers. How do I check o verify with a DOS command the kind OS of the machine?. I have to do it this way so the user's don't complained. Any advice would be great. Thank you.

The closest thing that I can think of is the "ver" command. If you run under Windows, it will return the value for that version of Windows, not the underlying DOS (if Win 3.x 9x).

CASE _WINDOWS
* do the Windows thing
CASE _MAC
* do the MAC thing
CASE _UNIX
