How can I programatically tell what HP3000 MPE version I'm on?

The variable HPCWD exists on 4.5 and later

The command NEWLINK exists on 5.0 and later (there must be a better way...)

listfile ;seleq=[object=hfsdir] 'hfsdir' may not be supported on 4.5, definitely isn't on 4.0.

NOTE:

On the Express 3 release of 5.0 (June?) there are 2 new CI variables: HPOSVERSION and HPRELEASE version. These contain the os and release ids seen in the :SHOWME banner. Eg.

  :showvar hp@version
  HPOSVERSION = B.79.06   (can't be changed)
  HPRELVERSION = B.79.05  (can't be changed)
  HPVERSION = B.79.05  <== this can be changed in sysgen.
