yes, there should be a Readme in the images.zip file. if it isn't already there,
it is surely at http://www.elks.ecs.soton.ac.uk/doc/

aha. If you can do that, the rawrite.exe utility might too be able to do its
work. you will find everything about it in the readme mentioned above.

this may be caused by the fact that you need to start DOS 5 to run its sys.exe
utility (doesn't it complain?). and you won't be able to start DOS 5 if you
haven't got a SRAM card with DOS 5 on it. If this is the problem, I see no easy
way out of this loop.
hope this helps. anyhow, when you have a bootable card, you still have to see if
ELKS manages to run on your system!
