     NAME
          rom41 - a filter to unscramble an Eramco ROM image

     SYNOPSIS
          rom41 < rom_file > output_file

     DESCRIPTION
          The Eramco MLDL-OS ROM set can save HP41 ROM images to disk,
          and the file format used has become a de facto standard for
          such images. It stores 4 10 bit HP41 words in 5 bytes of the
          file. A 4K ROM dump is thus stored in a 5120 byte file.

          rom41 unscrambles such an image, storing each HP41 10 bit
          word in 2 bytes of the output file, and therefore a 4K image
          takes up 8192 bytes when unscrambled. The resulting output
          file, although larger, is easier to process with other
          programs.

     EXAMPLES
          If myrom.rom is an HP41 rom image, produced by the Eramco
          MLDL-OS and stored in a linux file, then

          rom41 < myrom.rom > myrom.out

          will unscramble the image and store the result in myrom.out
