Master Recipe Systems STEVENS
by Shelley Rogers from: Sharon Stevens
NOTE: These listings are the latest I have available to
me. If you've moved, please let me know. Also, if you
have a system I haven't covered, let me know and I'll see
what I can do to add you to the program.
PURPOSE
This program is designed to allow users to take messages
they've captured from the net, and parse them in a format that
will allow them to import them into their favorite Recipe
program(s).
Currently supported programs are:
Quikbook, VITTLES, CompuChef, MealMaster, MRS: Master Recipe System,
Stevens and Other generic recipes.
REQUIREMENTS
This program will run on any PC or clone with 640k (or more),
and PC or MS-DOS 2.11 or later. It has been tested under 5.0 and
runs fine. It is also suggested that you have a hard drive, but
this is not required.
HOW IT WORKS
Recipeco works by looking through your text file for
identifiers that specify a particular style of recipe. The program
will then place each type of recipe in its own file. At this point,
your output will be similar to that produced by FOOD24.BAS. If
you like to keep files for different programs seperately, then all
you need to do is rename these files before running Recipeco
again.
However, if you're lazy like me, you really want to have
all those recipes automatically converted to the format your
program uses. To tell Recipeco to do this, you invoke the
program with a command-line flag. Examples:
Run program and leave files seperate:
c:\>recipeco
Run program and convert to Quikbook:
c:\>recipeco QB
Run program and convert to MealMaster:
c:\>recipeco MM
** Command Line arguments for other systems are:
**
** CompuChef - CC
** Vittles - VT
** Stevens - ST
After you start the program, you will be given a list (22 at
a time) of files in that directory. You will then be asked to
enter the name of the file you want to use as the input file.
Once you've entered a valid filename, the system will show a
count of the lines as it goes through the file. You will then be
given a listing of how many files of each type were found. If
you specified an automatic conversion, the system will tell you
as it finishes each conversion to the target format.
** Currently, automatic conversions work with Quikbook, MealMaster,
** Vittles, CompuChef, and Stevens recipe systems as the destination.
** Because MealMaster, etc. are more structured formats than QuikBook,
** you will probably want to review the final file before attempting the import.
FUTURE
Anything else you think you'd like added I'd like to hear about.
You can reach me by mail at the address in the introduction, or
leave me a message on the COOKING echo, or drop me a line at
Recipeco's Home BBS - Terraboard.
THANKS
Thanks go to Bob Butler for QBook which got me interested
in all this, the members of the COOKING echo for their
wonderful recipes which have made writing this a labor of love,
and John P. Nicholson who's FOOD24.BAS helped me figure out the
formats used by some of the various recipe packages.
** Also to Joann Pierce for putting up with my posts on the Echo :-)
