[iyonix-support] Error from SparkFS with ROOL tar files

The WELCOME/TXT file on the ROOL CD says:

"....SparkFS is recommended for unpacking the archives on
a RISC OS machine. Copy the files to your hard disc before trying
to extract the contents...."

However, attempts to unpack TAR files with SparkFS give rise to a 
message like the following:-

" Error when reading
"...BATCHONE/TAR-
" -Unidentified header type found

Can anyone help please?  My SparkFS is version 1.39 Read Only
