OSS in this context (of ther NonStop Kernel OS , NSK) means Open System 
Services, the POSIX personality of NSK.

    Ah, OK, thanks for digging that up. As I mentioned OSS came into
    existence in the early 1990s.

Off the subject of these endless pragma issues, but I feel compelled to
point out for the record that rms started GNU in 1983
(http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-history.html).

Granted GNU is not part of "open source" (which started in 1998 afaik;
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html), but I
suspect you don't technically mean "open source".

Best,
karl
