Well if you used call and redirected input couldn't you just get
environment variables?
There was also a registry dialect I saw once, if you used that I suppose
you would be able to check the registry structure, not particularly
stable a method either, but I think it's better than checking if
c:\windows exists; I've worked with people who, in building programs
would check if c:\winnt existed and if not create it so they could have
a c:\winnt\system32 to put their dlls in and it took repeated
explanations as to how to handle the problem correctly over a space of 6
months to get them to actually change their original code so as a
consequence I don't believe in every checking against the existence of a
folder and assuming from that what operating system one is in.
