Operating System Standard Interface.  This is an attempt to define a standard
interface for Modula-2 implementations, to enhance portability of code.  The
definition modules posted define such an interface.  This is a pretty good
idea, in my opinion, since the facilities provided by the underlying system
and the interfaces to these facilities differ greatly from implementation to
implementation (e.g. the IO package).
