 +==== Is<Port> ==== 
 + 
 +  * ''bool IsZDoom()'' -- returns true if the mod is running in ZDoom, but not GZDoom or Zandronum. 
 +  * ''bool IsGZDoom()'' -- returns true if the mod is running in GZDoom or a GZDoom-based engine like Zandronum. 
 +  * ''bool IsZandronum()'' -- returns true if the mod is running in Zandronum. 
 + 
 +==== IdentifySourcePort ==== 
 + 
 +''int IdentifySourcePort()'' -- returns the exact source port the mod is running in. It can be one of the following constants: 
 +  * ''PORT_ZDOOM'' -- ZDoom 
 +  * ''PORT_GZDOOM'' - GZDoom 
 +  * ''PORT_ZANDRONUM'' -- Zandronum

-To avoid rerunning these checks every time you call one of the below functions, they are only run the first time any of the functions is called and the result is stored into a map variable. Subsequent function calls simply read the map variable. +To avoid rerunning these checks every time you call one of the source port identification functions, they are only run the first time any of the functions is called and the result is stored into a map variable.
