I'm not positive, but I think the reason that TOPS has the "For Sale
in US only" label is due to U.S. Law. The U.S. Gov't is very strict about
exports of computer products and software.
As far as running on International Systems, TOPS places great emphasis
on internationalizing our software. We have versions of our Mac products
(TOPS/Mac 3.0 File-Sharing and InBox 3.0) for most European countries,
as well as Kanji versions. [Aside: In fact, Apple-Japan recommends
TOPS/Mac, because AppleShare doesn't work correctly with their Kanji
systems (maybe they've fixed it by now?)].
