dnetc on PEGASOS G3-600 running MorphOS
Oh yes, dnetc OS detection is broken. :-)

Sometimes I really don't understand the fascination with software running under emulation on MorphOS having to act differently just because it is running on MorphOS???

Something I really don't understand the people's urge to put words into other's mouth.

The OS is reported correctly.

Wrong. The OS is reported wrong.

The version mapping inside dnetc is following:

36 2.0
37 2.0x
38 2.1
39 3.0
40 3.1
41 3.2 *
42 3.3 *
43 3.4 *
44 3.5
45 3.9
46 4.0 **

*) These don't exist at all.
**) There is no v46.

Anything above 46 is reported as 3.5. That *is* broken.

Well you se the program is made for AmigaOS it even says so in the shell.

'distrbuted.net client _for_ Amiga OS ...'

Just becorse MorphOS can emulate Amiga programes dosent mean it has to say its runing under MOS.

Again, stop putting words in my mouth please! Where exactly did I say it should say MorphOS?

All I meant to say is that the OS version display is broken.

About the version numbering I agree that it's wroung to say its OS3.5 if the version number is above 46, The correct thing must say somthing like 'unkonwn version' or 'OS ?.?'

It would report OS4 as unknown version then. OS4 is v50.
