The first element of the sequence returned is one of:
global constant
	WIN_3_1 	= 1,
	WIN_95		= 2,
	WIN_95_OSR2 = 2.5,
	WIN_98		= 3,
	WIN_98SE	= 3.5,
	WIN_ME		= 4,
	WIN_NT_3_51 = 5,
	WIN_NT_4	= 6,
	WIN_2000	= 7,
	WIN_XP		= 8,
	WIN_UNKNOWN = 0

The remainder are mostly unintelligible gunk. As documented by M$,
they are "arbitrary additional information", build number, and then
optionally: service pack major, service pack minor, suite mask, and
product type, ie not much use unless you are calling the M$ hotline.

I suspect you just want eg

	if WinVer[1]=WIN_98SE then
		puts(1,"Windows 98 SE\n")
	else....
