    NICERDAS v12a:
    
    - nicerl2: Fixed ignored 'gtifiles' parameter: nicerl2 was
      silently ignoring the 'gtifiles' parameter, which is used to
      merge user-defined GTI files with those done by nimaketime.
     
    - niscorpspect: Removed SYS_ERR column if added by newer versions
      of Xspec (v12.14.0d and newer)
