Hello,
To extrapolate on what FunkyMonk said..
I had somewhat of the same question answered by
Fletch here..
Re: OS400 Pace - architecture?
The $^O variable only contains the architecture the platform was
built on. If you want to know on which platform it's
running try using
uname with backticks on a Unix platform and/or
ver on a Windows box.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
