Opening an RTA File
The RTA file type is primarily associated with iA Writer.
What is an RTA file?
RTA files mostly belong to iA Writer. When you see a file with the RTA extension, its meaning depends on the context in which it was created.
One common use is as a Rich Text Editor Document produced by iA Writer. In this case the file uses a plist structure to store formatted text. You can open it with iA Writer.
Other RTA files serve very different purposes. For example:
Maritime Navigation: These files hold data for a ship voyage plan and work as a route file for navigation systems. Game Resource: Some RTA files contain animation data or other resources. They may be used by tools described as a Real-Time Analyzer or be associated with game resources like those for Resident Evil or Grand Theft Auto. Embedded Systems: In industrial contexts, a RTA file can be an assembler output or a Real-Time Application Protocol file. Such files are handled by tools like Renesas Flash Programmer and RealView Debugger (Renesas). RTOS Loader: There are also RTA files that serve as loader programs for real-time operating systems such as RTOS-32.

How to open RTA files
