The most popular programs for working with RTL files are C++ Builder and Norton Utilities. To get the latest version of C++ Builder, open the Embarcadero website where a universal installer for all operating systems is available.
Once setup is done, your operating system should assign C++ Builder as the default app for RTL files.
