I recently downloaded BAM350.ZIP from one of the mail servers.
After playing with it a while, setting up an account, etc, I 
went and watched a movie.  When I came back and tried to load
the data, I received a wrong version error.  I could find no
mention of what this might be in the docs.  I dont know if
this is a bug, or if the program is crippleware, or whatever.
Has anyone else tried this program?

The problem is easy to fix.  Each record stores the version
number, 3.00.  However, the program version is 3.5.  Changing
the 3.00 to 3.50 in my test file fixed the problem, but of
course, adding more transactions adds the wrong version number
and you are back at the beginning. 

This seems like a really wierd problem.  I mean, it would seem
to be impossible not to find this as a bug the second time
you executed the program.

I could not find an email address for the author in the docs 
supplied.

Any comments, help appreciated.
