systemVersion, RunRev with WINE, burblings.

  Ubuntu 10.10 Beta, WINE 1.3.2 Beta

RunRev for Windows running under WINE (seriously odd as Compiz Fusion
mucks up the icons on the ToolBar and MenuBar stacks something wicked)

put the systemVersion

yields  NT 5.1 when WINE is set to imitate Windows XP

and  NT 6.1 when WINE is set to imitate Windows 7

[ interestingly enough, when WINE is passing itself off as Windows 7, most
of the icons on the ToolBar stack are not black boxes ]

put processor returns  x86  as one would expect.

AND, while I'm on-a-roll about running RunRev for Windows on WINE,

put the fontNames

'sees' all the fonts installed in the Linux system.

Certainly beats the crap out of having to run test stacks back and forth
between a Linux box and a Windows box (plus the added expense of shelling
out for various versions of Windows) witha Flash drive for testing purposes.

sincerely, Richmond.
