Just 'uname' is not specific enou= gh. On SCO UNIX 3.2V4.2 uname defaults to 'uname -s'. On AlphaServe= r with Digital UNIX 4.0g or TRU64 V5.1B I get 'OSF1' as answer. On = HP-UX 11.23/11.31 I get 'HP-UX'.

Eve= n if I do a 'uname -m' I may still do additional 'uname [-<a= rgument>]' for other specifics. Of course a 'uname -a' and &= #39;set -- $*' would be a possibility.

That's the architecture.=C2=A0 Wouldn't just `uname` be better?=C2= =A0 I have:

=C2=A0 case `uname` in

...

And yes, lm, if you're looking, there's really a /usr/local/bitkeep= er
in there.=C2=A0 It's been years, but I don't tidy these things up v= ery
often.=C2=A0 I only just removed mosaic from my fvwm2 config menus.
