The boss wants me to read DICOS format files, which are supposedly derived from DICOM files. I've used the IDL routines and some home brewed stuff to read DICOMs, but I can't fnd any useful information on DICOS. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff, or know the location of information/routines?

I've read lots of DICOM with IDL - Can you share a sample image?

Probably not. The information will likely have some sort of low-grade confidential classification. I was just hoping someone could say, sure, the DICOM read/write programs in IDL will work fine for DICOS, or else have some insight into the differences.

If they really conform to the DICOM standard, then they can likely be readable. You will likely find that the DICOM data dictionary probably doesn't include DICOS tags, so everything that is specific to DICOS and not in DICOM will look like a private tag. I'd suggest you give it a try with IDLffDICOM and see how it works.
