Any advice on how to get the version of max (8, 9, 2009) as a return value?

I'm finding it to be very difficult to find simple answers like this in the docs :(

you're looking for...


maxVersion()
-- returns (on this max version right here)
#(11000, 25, 0)

-- get only the first bit
(maxVersion())[1]
-- returns
11000

-- divide by 1000 for the true max 'version'
(maxVersion())[1] / 1000.0
-- returns
11.0


Also see maxOps in the documentation which can tell you whether the user is using Max, VIZ, whether it's a Trial, an NFR, etc. .. if needed :)

Thanks a bunch! I've been working with python and mel so this is quite a difference.
