EDNA'S COOK BOOK (ECB)
Edna's Cook Book (ECB) is a program for recording, filing, listing, and
printing recipes. Essentially, it is the equivalent of the cookbook
in which you now keep all your recipes, except that it is electronic. The
program may also be used in the preparation of cook books for publication,
since it facilitates organization and printing.
If you can type, you no longer have to deal with disorganized slips of paper
and clippings thrown together in a drawer or box, only to be frustrated when
you can't find that particular recipe that you remember you had, except you
can't remember where it is, or what the precise name of it is. ECB will take
care of the tedious part, so you can get on with the real work--good cooking.
QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS
MAKING A WORK COPY
1. Format a disk, using the DOS FORMAT command.
2. If you are using a dual floppy system, format a second disk to use as a data
disk.
3. Copy the Program Disk files onto a work copy using the COPY *.* procedure
and put the original in a safe place. In case something happens to your
work copy, you will then have a backup.
Do NOT put a write protect tab on the program disk. Any permanent changes that
you make (print parameters, boot drive/directory, password) will have to be
written back to this disk.
ECB will run from a hard disk with no difficulty. Just copy the files on the
program disk onto the hard disk. It is recommended that you create a separate
subdirectory for the program.
PRINTING THE USER'S MANUAL
To print the User's Manual, place your work disk in Drive A: and type:
PRINTDOC
You can view the manual on your screen by typing:
TYPE MANUAL.DOC
STARTING THE PROGRAM
To start ECB, put the work copy in drive A. At the A> prompt type:
ECB <Return>.
If you have a color card and a monochrome monitor, you may have difficulty
seeing some of ECB. To run ECB in black and white (or green and green or
whatever two colors you may have on your monitor), type: ECB BW <Return>.
