**RDLP\_GetOSVersionString**(*PConnection \*pconn*);

## DESCRIPTION

**RDLP\_GetOSVersionString** queries the Palm to find out which version of PalmOS it is running. This is returned as a pointer to a string.

## RETURN VALUE

**RDLP\_GetOSVersionString** returns an integer. Presumably this is the address of the memory location where the OS version string is located. If so, this string should then be read with RDLP\_MemMove.
