Determine PC/PDA Platform

I hope someone can help me.

I have an application that will run on either on a PC or PDA. There is a subtle difference between the two that I can resolve programmatically if I can determine the running platform.

The function for detecting OS via a property node is not supported in the PDA, does anyone know a different (robust) method of determining if the application is running on a (Windows) PD or (Windows) PDA?

Thanks in advance

One solution that I can think of is to write a C program and then create a DLL that can determine what version of OS you are running. Needless to say, the method call in that DLL should be able to work with the PC OS and the PDA OS.

The list folder function can be used to figure out what paltform is used. Just connect an empty path and you will get the root folders of the system. For a PC you will get letters and for windows mobile you will get the root folders.
