As part of the ongoing 30th Anniversary celebrations, I have now released my updated version of QL Cash Trader as public domain, subject to the proviso, that no-one else is allowed to make a profit from the program.
QL Cash Trader has a long chequered history and is a fully featured business accountancy package, which has been marketed by various publishers under various names; and part of the unwritten history of the program is that (according to one source), a copy of the original program was purchased by one person, who liked the user-friendly interface so much that they designed the original Sage Accountancy program on Cash Trader (I certainly recall seeing Sage being used in a company in the late 80s and had always thought it had more than a passing resemblance to the QL software).
Based on the original public domain release by Chas Dillon (which I understand was a complete re-write of the original version), I updated the program originally to get around the millenium bug (mainly because I used - and continue to use) this program for my own accounts. I added some additional features and corrected various bugs in the code, and sold the program under the RWAP Software label for a nominal charge.
More details appear on the Sinclair QL Wiki
I have sent the QL zipped version of Cash Trader to Dilwyn so that he can add it to the Sinclair QL Homepage. It is also attached below, complete with sources.
