They probably are; I said I was feeling stupid today. However the web page
was just a little misleading. It says: 'Before you can update your ROM you
must download your personalised registered ROM updater.' and then, as you
point out above 'Download ROM5.12 . . . ', suggesting that there are two
separate operations.
OK. Maybe I have too high an expectation that instructions will be strictly
logical.
Thanks for your help.
