platform() = MacOS (9 with ascii(13) or X with ascii(10))?

Ken, Kee, et al:

This does NOT work.  On OS 9 the system version is 9.x.x and OS X is 
10.x.x, so the if gives incorrect results.

Note Richard Gaskin's handler that checks item 1 of systemVersion.

Since Rev does not run on Mac OS systems < 7, I use

"if char 1 of systemVersion() < 7",

which should work through Mac OS version 69.x.x.
