[osis-core] headers & refSystems

[Patrick Durusau]

Chris,

Top of the list for tomorrow! Promise! (There, on the calendar ahead of 
my ISO report!)

Laptop died again today but I will write some prose on your prior post 
and this one.

Have not been ignoring the problem, just juggling it! ;-)

Be sure to send the bio's and pics!
