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.
