#include <windows.h>

#if defined (WIN32)
   #define IS_WIN32 TRUE
#else
   #define IS_WIN32 FALSE
#endif
#define IS_NT      IS_WIN32 && (BOOL)(GetVersion() < 0x80000000)
#define IS_WIN32S  IS_WIN32 && (BOOL)(!(IS_NT) &&
(LOBYTE(LOWORD(GetVersion()))<4))
#define IS_WIN95 (BOOL)(!(IS_NT) && !(IS_WIN32S)) && IS_WIN32
