How about adding
\pdfbinary == number (0=unknown, 1=web2c, 2=miktex)
sometimes this is handy to know
What number does a official unknown distribution (eg. 100+) get? What number in case of a private modification of web2c?
the main reason for this feature is that one sometimes needs to know if one runs in a kpse environment or not, not so much feature testing; currently there is no way to find out if web2c/miktex is used (without reverting to write18, and even then it's not fail safe); since it's meant for macro packages that keep up to date, i see no problem with updates and private modifications, but i can imagine a range, say 1000-1999 for fundamental web2c changes, 2000-2999 for miktex, etc Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE/POD/CTS Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
