Hi Folks.

Well finally somebody took it away from me!
Can anybody tell me how I can determine what platform I'm running from within Squeak?
How about using FileDirectory activeDirectoryClass -- it returns the Mac/Dos/UNIX directory class that's right for the current platform. (It uses a nasty kludj related to the fact that they have different filename separator characters.)
