In the past, other IBM internal teams have been given a copy of ASMPUT with a view to incorporating similar capabilities into other tools, so I think IBM might want to keep hold of the rights, even though I'm not personally aware of any specific replacement tool. The Windows version appears to have been created using the old IBM VisualAge C++ compiler, presumably running on Windows NT. I'm not familiar with the source or with that compiler and the relevant library routines, but I do know that people tried and eventually failed to port it to a currently supported compiler, mainly because the volume of work required far exceeded the available resources.
