RE: Newbie question :(

[Villalovos, John L]

Thanks.  I will do that.

I guess the reason I didn't try doing that was I was hoping to avoid the
actual ReturnsZero call.  I was thinking that by doing it the way I was
trying, that the test would "short-circuit" and not make the call unless
it was a Red Hat 8 system.

But I'm always willing to use what works :)

Thanks for the solution,
John

am but a tiny, insignificant, infinitesimal (1/80000) cog in the giant
