I would really like to see these products distributed in the US.  Calling
Europe from Alaska isn't much fun since they are almost 180 degrees out of
phase with us time-wise.  And from what I've seen international mail is
one of the few things that makes US Mail look good.
But be that as it may, I'd like to find out more about the products,
particularly SIGNUM.  Do they have English documentation?  Will they work
with US keyboards and ROMs?  Any reviews?  (I know the TeX packages have
turned up in TUGboat.)  Speaking of TUGboat, I called the US developer who
makes an Amiga TeX and who was said to be working on an ST version...he
said that his group had dropped the ST product because they felt the German
versions made it redundant...
Someone could earn my Undying Gratitude (for this month, anyway) by extracting
instructions from the producers on how to order the products from the US
(ie, price including postage in DM and preferred form of payment).
Maybe Atari could give them a call and offer assistance in US marketing?  They
need products like these to be serious contenders in the academic arena.
