[MiNT] Correct way to detect MiNT kernal?

[atari@bright.net (Lonny Pursell)]

Quite a while back I asked Frank how to detect the MiNT kernal
whilst on IRC.  When I say detect I mean positively detect it
even if some other OS fakes the cookie entry.  At the time
I think Frank suggested making a call to Sconfig(opcode 290)
and if it fails (-32) then the MiNT kernal is not present.

Is this proper way?  I've been over all the docs in the
lastest kernal archive and didn't find mention of this call.
Unless I missed it can someone point me in the correct doc?

Reason I ask this:
I was talking with someone else today on IRC about the same thing
and they raised the question that if Sconfig() is a rather old
call wouldn't another OS also have this call?  They thought
maybe Ssystem() would be the call to use instead?

Thanks

Hope eveyone has a good New Year!
