   Yes, The scandinavian version of Calamus works on swedish 1.2 and 1.4, but
   not on my US TOS 1.4 :-(   Just as System /// Heidelberg programs only works
   on machines with german keyboard layout (z and y exchanged)

Actually the difference is bigger than that !
A friend of mine wrote a Signum!-wrapper to get it to run on
his UK-ST ... The wrapper installs a German keytable, starts
INSTAL.PRG if needed and invokes Signum!. When Signum! is
done, the wrapper re-installs the keytable as found in the ROM.
