This question is actually directed to Alan Pratt, but as he never answers  my
direct e-mail I will send it on the net:
I have heard that TOS 1.4 is available for users in Sweden now -I don't know
details. Anyway:
as official developer I have been begging for it for half a year now from
Atari Sweden, never got anything at all.
The Swedish TOS, both 1.2 and 1.4 as far as I know, has had a bug when it
comes to the scan codes, the shift+arros and shift+Ins/Home has just given 0;
I sent the patches for that for 1.4 to Atari, Stockholm after they wanted it
during a telephone call. Never heard from them after that so no idea if they
have incorporated it. 
Besides, in the EPROMs I have incorporated 5 well-known and -documented
German patches, like fixing the serial port etc.
Now I got a problem. Lots of people want my patched EPROMs. They want to be
able to use editors like First word + (where obviously the shift-arrows
never worked), they want to use fast modems on the serial port etc. What do
I do????? Do I tell them it is illegal according to Atari to have a working
Atari ST or what?????????
