The alm file extension belongs to Alpha Five, an integrated development tool for Microsoft Windows from Alpha Software.
An alm file stores scripts, user-defined functions, menus, toolbars, bitmaps, and import definitions used by more than one table in an Alpha Five project.
The file is part of the Alpha Five project environment rather than a general-purpose database interchange format. Its contents are intended to be managed together with the associated Alpha Five application and database files.
Open an alm file in Alpha Five on Microsoft Windows. The file is normally accessed from the relevant Alpha Five project rather than opened as a standalone document.
If Alpha Five does not recognise the file, place it with the other files from the original project and open that project first. Renaming the file or opening it in a text editor will not display its database information correctly.
An alm file is not normally converted with a general-purpose file converter. Its scripts, functions, menus, toolbars, bitmaps, and import definitions are Alpha Five project resources, so they should be retained in the project.
Use Alpha Five's project and database export features when the goal is to move selected data or application resources to another format. This does not convert the complete alm file into an equivalent standalone file.

SiRFDemo is software for real-time monitoring of a GPS receiver. Its alm files store GPS almanac data used with the receiver.
The almanac includes the health status of the entire GPS satellite constellation and coarse orbital information for each satellite. This information helps the receiver identify and track satellites.
An alm file should be opened with SiRFDemo on a compatible Windows computer. It is a receiver-support file rather than a document intended for viewing in a text editor, so other programs may display unreadable data or interpret it incorrectly.
This obsolete GPS almanac format generally has no useful standalone conversion option. The data is intended for use by SiRFDemo and compatible GPS receivers; when current almanac data is needed, it is normally obtained again through the receiver or its software rather than converted to another file format.
