The filesystem in a file is not supported by OLR. It would be possible 
to port the FileSystem modules and extract the files. LNO also is able 
to extract all files.

The OP2 compiler should also be available for SPARC. That port would not 
be that difficult using same technics as MIPS port. However, I don't see 
a SPARC board while ci20 MIPS board is available for £50 or $65.

have luck in getting it to work.
