Subject:Recognise Paradox 9 Runtime

At one time I had in my 'library' of Paradox Scripts the method of 
recognising if Paradox was running on Paradox 9 or Paradox 9 Runtime (As 
opposed to version 8 for example) but I now cannot find it. I am running 
a script in Paradox 9 Full Developers but I want to be able to check 'on 
the fly' if that script is running for Paradox 9 Runtime because the 
Paths I am using for the latter are different.

I'm pretty sure that what I had previously, provided the opportunity to 
Capture that information in a Variable so that the correct part of the 
script was used in that operation.

I have checked through some of my Paradox programmes but cannot find 
where I have used it previously. Finding it that way is pretty time 
consuming and I am wondering if anyone can provide a sample script.

I have found one of Tony McGuire's entries by doing a search through 
this facility and found:
"stVersion=substr(version(),1,search(version(),".")-1)"
but is this sufficient I wonder?

Any offers on this would be appreciated.
