There is a function called `getmntent' in the DJGPP library; look it up 
in the on-line library docs.  It should be exactly what you are after.

The usual practice is to test for an environment variable called "windir" 
(in lower-case!).  This is usually sufficient, but somebody can set that 
variable and fool your program.  The real test involves calling Interrupt 
2Fh function 16h; look it up in the Ralf Brown's Interrupt List.

DJGPP library has a functioned called `_get_dos_version'.  AFAIK, you
shouldn't worry about the version of Windows 3.x, but if you do, the above
function of Int 2Fh also returns the Windows 3.x version.  Windows 95
manifests itself as DOS version 7.
