The rtp file extension is used in early Microsoft Windows and MS-DOS systems for program patches. This technology is also used by other programs, like Visual C++ or Turbotax.
The rtp file contains patching package, including updates and bug fixes.
There is no way how to open *.rtp patch files.

GROMACS, whose name comes from GROningen MAchine for Chemical Simulations, is molecular dynamics simulation software. An .rtp file belongs to a GROMACS force-field data set and provides residue definitions for topology generation.
The file can define information such as residue atoms, atom types, charges, bonds and other connectivity or interaction data. GROMACS uses these definitions together with coordinate files and other force-field files when generating a system topology.
GROMACS is available for Microsoft Windows and other platforms.
An .rtp file is a text file, so it can be opened for inspection or editing with a plain-text editor on Microsoft Windows. Use a text editor that does not add rich-text formatting.
GROMACS does not normally open the file as a standalone document. Its pdb2gmx tool reads the appropriate residue topology file when generating a molecular topology.
An .rtp file is a source data file rather than a document format, so it generally has no useful direct conversion to another file type.
When a molecular topology is needed, GROMACS can read the residue definitions during a pdb2gmx run and generate the corresponding topology files. Changes to the residue definitions should be made in a text editor using the syntax expected by the selected GROMACS force field.
