Programatically determine if column supports full-text searching

Hi,
Is there a way to programmatically determine (perhaps by interrogating the
system catalogs) if a column supports full-text searching.
In my application I want to use "CONTAINS" where support is available but
deprecate to "LIKE" where it is not.
TIA
