Just a quick question. Is there a command line at a terminal window of 
MacOSX that can do this- tell you more about the hardware? Also list 
software packages and their revisions and also patches?

This AS

  <br>
tell application "Finder"
  <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;set FinderVersion to version
  <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;set OSVersion to product version

end tell
  <br>
  <br>
returns

  <br>
{"10.4.7", ""}
  <br>
  <br>
So getting the OS version via the Finder seems to be broken - but there
is an alternative, as shown above.

  <br>
Gestalt seems to be broken, however.
