I’m writing a LaTeX package which needs to use \write18. Some of the shell commands I issue are system-specific (e.g. rm vs. del). Is there a way to determine what system I’m running on?
It would be enough to disambiguate between Windows and other (Unix-like) systems.
Take a look at the LaTeX ifplatform package. There was a lot of discussion about reliable methods across a range of platforms, and the current release works very well.
