Re: [Cdrdao-devel] Cdrdao does not lock writer under Win32

Great work Giuseppe!

The MSDN Service is down right now but I use GetVersionEx which returns:

dwPlatformId:  VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_WINDOWS or VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT

which should be enough but there is also dwMajorVersion and dwMinorVersion which will give you the exact windows version should you
want it.

The similar code that I have written has been tested on win98 with no adverse effects although it obviously does not lock device...
