OPSYS function on NT returns MSDOS
When running version 7 and 8.0a on the Nt operating system and doing
an opsys function, it will always return "msdos".
In version 8.0B, to take into account the 32-bit client, you will be
able to set OPSYS=NT or Win95 or whatever you choose so that when a
programmer uses OPSYS, it will return whatever it was set to in the
progress.ini.
The original idea was that Progress could have
OPSYS function return this automatically for the 32-bit client, but
then that idea was discarded when it was realized that many users
will have many programs that have code based on 'if opsys = 'msdos'.
The fix is to set OPSYS in the progress.ini to whatever you want.
If this is not set the OPSYS function will automatically return
msdos.
