!BMDView - program to view !BkMgr data files, display and save the contents as text.

Summary

The Archimedes Bank Manager program from Contex Computing, !BkMgr, dates back to the days of the BBC micro (ca 1987). It is a simple but useful bank manager program which, due to its age, has a number of drawbacks.

It is fixed to the Teletext Mode 7 display which is nolonger supported on modern RISC OS maschines.
It prints directly to the serial or parallel printer port and does not use the printer drivers for modern printers or USB printers.
Its not multitasking.
It doesn't have much support for writing data to text files.

I've got archive data for this program dating back to 1991 and have a need to view this data from time to time. I need to sort & filter the current years transactions for accounting purposes. Also I wanted an easy forward look ahead function. !BMDView started as a collection of BASIC scripts which have been rewritten in C and pulled together into one program for easy use. The program is very much written for my own requirements but should be useful for anyone who uses or has used !BkMgr.
