The only one I know of is the one Silver Programs sells (see previous items in this newsgroup for their address/phone). Since I have theirs, I never went looking for a public-domain one. I have many of the RSTS SIG tapes from past years, so if you have an idea when it came out I can look for it...

I had a program called DECOMP back in 1979. It was stolen from my account on the ARK and got fairly wide distribution. If I recall correctly, someone put it on a demo machine at the 1980 Chicago DECUS Symposium. I don't know if it made it to the official tape. But my guess would be to look around 1980 and 1981 for a copy of DECOMP.
