Hello,
I am trying to make an 'About Computer' section, and I need to get some information like the ComputerCraft Version... here is a list:
- Minecraft Version
- ComputerCraft Version
- Computer Number
- Computer Label
- Computer Maximum Space
- Computer Space remaining

I have been looking around on the forums, and have been unable to find anything!

Minecraft and ComputerCraft version are stored in the _HOST variable (assuming you're on ComputerCraft 1.76 or greater). These can be extracted with Lua patterns:
local cc_version = _HOST:match("ComputerCraft (%S+)")
local mc_version = _HOST:match("Minecraft (%S+)")

Computer number (or id) and label can be accessed through the os API.

The space remaining can be accessed through fs.getFreeSpace("/"). There isn't a built in way to get the storage capacity of a computer, but you can find the size of each file on disk and add them to the free space to get the capacity.

Also keep in mind that if you are running an emulator you will instead get the emulator's version instead of Minecraft's.

I believe fs.getFreeSpace(...) returns a number in bytes?
