Not terribly complicated. I've removed the code checking for DOS or Unix (anyone think we still need that?)

lcOS = OS(1)
lcwindows = "Windows "
WITH This
  DO CASE
    CASE ATC(lcwindows + "NT", lcOS) # 0
      * NT 3.51/4.00
      .nCurrentOS = OS_NT
      .cRegDLLFile = DLL_ADVAPI_NT
      .cINIDLLFile = DLL_KERNEL_NT
      .cODBCDLLFile = DLL_ODBC_NT
    CASE ATC(lcwindows + "5.", lcOS)  # 0
      * Win2K
      .nCurrentOS = OS_NT
      .cRegDLLFile = DLL_ADVAPI_NT
      .cINIDLLFile = DLL_KERNEL_NT
      .cODBCDLLFile = DLL_ODBC_NT
    OTHERWISE
      * Windows 95/98
      .nCurrentOS = OS_WIN95
      .cRegDLLFile = DLL_ADVAPI_WIN95
      .cINIDLLFile = DLL_KERNEL_WIN95
      .cODBCDLLFile = DLL_ODBC_WIN95
  ENDCASE

Watch the parser, Stephen (the grin didn't appear in the original message)< s >. Well, stick around, I'm going through them again.:-) Actually, I posted this sometime ago. Let me do a search and I'll give you the date and section (Chatter I think).
