[Rpcemu] Problem with ROM decompression

Guys,

on the page http://www.marutan.net/rpcemu/manual/romimage.html there is
remark:

#v+
Note: RISC OS Select ROM image files are not usable directly as they are
compressed. To use them please boot them and use the 'Extract from a running
RISC OS machine' instructions below. Alternative if you have a linux machine,
use this method to decompress them.


bash> tail -c +21 Select.rom > Select.Z
bash> uncompress Select.Z
#v-

So I downloaded ROM 3.71, but it doesn't work as described on the page:

$ tail -c +21 risocs-3.71.rom > Select.Z
$ uncompress Select.Z
Select.Z: not in compressed format

Not sure - did I do anything wrong, or that description on the page is faulty?

regards,
Zbigniew
