Hi Norm,
I did a 10 minutes google on this. Try these links for info on how to play:

ROL: Although ROL music format is nowadays known as one of the popular 
music format for the AdLib's FM synthesizer, originally it appeared for 
Roland's synthesizers. Nobody knows who formulated this format for which 
hardware/software, but it got the way to the AdLib's standard when AdLib 
Visual Composer applied ROL as its music format in 1989. The instrument 
data is managed on INS/BNK files separately.

There are programs to convert ROL to MID and MID to MP3. Try googling on 
some phrases.
