At work we run NOVELL 3.12 on our server, which is primarily used as a file 
and print server. Approx 65 users log on each day, most using DOS 6.2x and 
Windows 3.1x (or Win4WG ver 3.11), but others use Win95 or WinNT ver 4.0
As the user logs in, the login script common to all users runs Thunderbyte 
(for DOS) and scans their local drives for viruses. This generally prevents 
them from sharing an infected file.
What I would like to do, but don't know how, is to determine at login time 
which OS the client is running, and force a virus scan with the appropriate 
scanner i.e.
Thunderbyte for DOS and Win 3.1x
Thunderbyte for Win95
Thunderbyte for WinNT
Can anyone tell me, from within the login script, how to determine which DOS 
or Windows the client is running?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated!
Cheers!
