<DIV>Awesome find, MisterX! After a little testing and tweaking (the 'findstr'
is not "MAC" but "Physical Address", and 'findstr' is not supported on Win 9x),
here's a replacement CROSS-PLATFORM function. Note that IPCONFIG.EXE exists only
on Windows 98 and higher (including XP), but if you can include IPCONFIG.EXE in
your delivery (CD/download/etc.), you can run it on Windows 95 and it will work
just fine. (I don't know if Microsoft has an issue with distributing this... you
should check it out.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>function GetMACAddress<BR> local retVal<BR> switch (the
platform)<BR> case "MacOS"<BR> set the directory to
specialFolderPath("apple")<BR> put "tell application"
&& quote & "Apple System Profiler" & quote & cr &
