Bob,

The wikiPedia explanation of OS/NS contradicts yours. See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Style_and_New_Style_dates

I've done some Web research and there are strong statements on both sides:
OS/NS only refers to the date of the new year and OS/NS means
Julian/Gregorian.

What source is the authority?

John
