How to tell Type of CPU?????

[Scott Morrow]

Dave,
< the platform > correctly returns MacOS for all Macintosh systems.   
To distinguish them use < the systemVersion >

-- this function (taken from the stdLib) lets you know if it is OSX
function isOSX
   if the platform is not "MacOS" then return false
   get the systemversion
   set the itemdel to "."
   if item 1 of it >= 10 then return true
   return false
end isOSX


--  if it is OSX then you can check to see if < the processor >  
contains "PowerPC"
if isOSX() then
    if   "PowerPC" is in the processor then
      put "PPC"
    else
      put "Intel"
    end if
end if
