Since System.Gestalt is depreciated since Xojo 2014r3 is there any other way of getting the MacOS version?
I know that “depreciated” does not mean “removed”. But I like clean code. And since I am fixing a lot of code to work well with the API 2.0, I wanted to tackle the OS version as wel.

Thanks! I think this might work. I used the sesctl to get the right information.
The code below is not yet tested. But I assume it should work:
[code]Public Sub osVersion(byRef Major as Integer, byRef Minor as Integer, byRef Bug as Integer)
dim selector as String = “kern.osrelease”
dim sh as new Shell
sh.ExecuteMode = shell.ExecuteModes.Synchronous
sh.Execute "sysctl " + selector
dim result as String
result = sh.Result
if result.Trim = “” then Return
if not result.Trim.BeginsWith( selector ) then Return
dim i as Integer
i = result.IndexOf(":")
if i < 0 then Return
result = result.Middle(i + 1).Trim
dim flds() as String = result.Split(".")
if flds.LastRowIndex < 2 then Return
Major = flds(0).CLong
Minor = flds(1).CLong
Bug = flds(2).CLong
End Sub
[/code]
