The WELCOME/TXT file on the ROOL CD says:

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
Some tars created with various incarnations of tar available on Linux/UNIX defy SparkFS and SparkPlug alike. I would say ROOL have not been checking compatibility as thoroughly as they should.
