I know there is a way to see whether the server is running on windows / unix but to my knowlege there is no way to know for each individual mob. A simple read-only string would do, shouldn't be too hard to implement anyway :)

That might be nice, although unless this info is already known to the server it would require changing server-client communication and older clients definitely wouldn't support it. If implemented, though, client.OS would probably be a better choice.

Until it becomes a proper part of BYOND, you could always use the method in Post [link]. :)
