    Angry determine OS

    I need some help finding an API call that will return the OS that is running on the machine. I've found just about every piece of info about the OS, but not which OS (NT, 95, 98, etc)...I'm about to go insane!!!

    Code:
    'put this in a module
Declare Function GetVersionEx Lib "kernel32.dll" Alias "GetVersionExA" (lpVersionInformation As OSVERSIONINFO) As Long

Type OSVERSIONINFO
  dwOSVersionInfoSize As Long
  dwMajorVersion As Long
  dwMinorVersion As Long
  dwBuildNumber As Long
  dwPlatformId As Long
  szCSDVersion As String * 128
End Type
    Code:
    'displays the major and minor version numbers of windows
'for example, 4.0 represents windows 95

Dim os As OSVERSIONINFO, retval As Long
os.dwOSVersionInfoSize = Len(os)
retval = GetVersionEx(os)  
Debug.Print "Windows version number:"; os.dwMajorVersion; "."; os.dwMinorVersion
