- As always, there is no exact number. You may want to know how many region
- codes are already _defined_ in the interface files? Look into the latests
- developer CD. But this is the number of _defined_ region codes, which is not
- the number of _implemented_ system versions. You can count 'em, if you look
- in a bunch of the latest developer CDs (they do only provide new intl system
- versions on the actual CD, since these image files are real space hogs and
- there are now even different systems for all of these "new" eastern european
- countries :-). Additionally, the number trends to grow at this time.
-
- Alterantively, scan ftp.apple.com for the sys.soft.int subdirectory and
- count the number of files in it (but don't expect the files there are a
- complete listing of all existing system software versions for the Mac).
