RTA 2.00 Beta 2.5 (12 Nov 03) - http://ibiblio.org/paulc/rta/ - paulc@ibiblio.org
=================================================================================

RTA allows you to edit the hex and assembler of virtually any PE file by simply typing over the
top of the original hex or assembler. Both VA and RVA style addresses are supported, with VA being
dominant. 

The menus, toolbars, and hotkey definitions are completely configurable by editing the file
"rta.cfg" with any text editor. 

Please note that RTA is still an unfinished piece of software, so may contains features that are
not fully implemented. See the configuration file rta.cfg for more information. 

Installation
============

To install RTA, simply extract this archive to a directory of your choice. There is no installation program as
the program itself is fully self-contained, requiring no special files apart from those provided with Windows. 

Updates
=======

Updates for RTA can be found at - http://ibiblio.org/paulc/rta/
Updates for PE Tools (which includes the PE Sniffer database) can be found at - http://www.uinc.ru/

The PE Tools signature database "signs.txt" can be used without modification with RTA by simply renaming 
the file to "sigs.dat" and placing it into RTA's directory. 

Other info
==========

If anyone would like to create a GUI-based configuration utility for RTA (or other kind of extension), 
then please contact me, and I will help as much as possible, as well as providing a home for the 
extension on the same page as RTA itself.
