I might...

Late last year I bought IDA <http://www.datarescue.com/> to disassemble
TP6' TPC.EXE (to be able to add 32 bit to BASM - work is still in
progress, although I have already implemented some 32-bit instructions
by throwing out a bunch of the obsolete/duplicate instructions in the
original) and I'm sure I could push RTM.EXE through it. The only
problem is that my PC is currently trying to tell me that it's about to
die, and most of the time it is actually dead. However, I'm about to go
on holiday and will visit my parents in Holland. I might take both
RTM.EXE & IDA with me and run it through, but I may not have a lot of
time to have an in-depth look at the results, ie use the I(nteractive)
part of IDA.

It's unlikely that any of this will be available until around the
beginning of October.

consider posting to this one in the future, b.p.t cannot be reached
from the likes of Deja/Remarq/etc.
