Though, better use Smalltalk os platformName (which should work in all versions since the above mentioned), writing a test for whether #name is the "correct" method to use ala 3.0 would be an interesting exercise since it's also implemented for older returns of Smalltalk os, but with a different meaning. *cough* find a better selector for 3.0? *cough* I think OSPlatform is one of those packages which tries to work on Squeak 3.6 and up, and in that case you still need more fallbacks.
