It takes Mike Schmal, ROM Guru (AKA the Human Make), a single day
to make ALL sets of ROMs.  But there is an initial delay for
doing language translations.  (For instance, a set of Swahili
ROMs would probably take a couple months, since no one here
speaks it well, and the people who *do* speak it well don't
necessarily have ST experience).

Another problem was that the text for the German ROMs is
significantly larger than the text for the US ROMs.  The
11/20 release of the US ROMs had exactly 14 bytes left for
expansion, so some code had to be crunched to make German
TOS fit.
