Does anybody have a recipe for recognizing that a Lua program is being
executed under Windows?
Reading the "OS" environment variable does not work before Windows NT
(I'm a perfectionist...).
I could open a file in 'w' mode, write a newline, close the file, read
it back in 'wb' mode and check for \r\n. Requires write access, however.
Hmm... maybe I could check if arg[-1] starts with '%a%:' and/or if it
contains a backslash. Would that be reliable?
