Hi Erich, in previous versions there was a modification by Mark Hessling to return MacOSX, which I saw went missing (again). I did not take action, because it seems that it targets a name more ephemerical than Darwin (MacOSX is going to be macOS in the coming release).
So from my point of view, whatever the uname command returns is the OS name. In the case of MacOSX, that is Darwin. best regards, René. > On 16 aug. 2016, at 20:44, Erich Steinböck <[email protected]> wrote: > > With René's ooRexx5 buiild on MacOS X we have a new operating system name > "DARWIN", which parse source will return. > > From some older Rexx scripts I can see that we seem to have had builds which > returned "MACOS" as the first parse source token. > > Do we want "DARWIN" to be the OS indicator for our new Mac OS build, or do we > want to use the previous "MACOS" name (backwards compatibility)? > > > Currently all Windows builds return "WindowsNT", all Linux flavours > (Red-hat-based, Debian-based, etc.) return "LINUX".
