Finding the windows version...

Hey guys,

I have searched everywhere, and I can't find a good way to identify the windows version. Just to let you know what's going on, take a look at my algorithm:

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>
#include <windows.h>

char ReturnWinVersion(char WinVer[]);

int main()
{
 char* Version = ReturnWinVersion();
 if (Version = win9x)
 {
 do this...
 }
 if (Version = winNT)
 {
 do this...
 }
 if (Version = WinXP)
 {
 do this...
 }

return 0;
}

char ReturnWinVersion(char WinVer[]);
{
 ***This is where I'm stuck!***
 return WinVer[];
}

---

As you can see, this is very messy coding, but I don't care at this point. Is there a good way to do this... the way I want? I know about the GetVersion() function, but I don't understand how to work with it.

Thanks.
