MMCREDIT.EXE is a program to complement the Meal Master (MM) program.
MM is an excellent, reasonably priced recipe database program. On I-LINK
and Rime Cuisine conferences it seems quite popular. It will read in MM
format recipes from saved QWK messages.
I like to know who originated the recipe, however. Typing this
information on each recipe by hand is tedious. This program will scan
through a file and add a credit line at the end of each recipe such as:

The information at the bottom is extracted from the message header.
The program when run without parameters gives the following help
information:
version 1.00
Meal-Master recipe credit program by Rodney Grantham
This program puts author & date from QWK header
at the bottom of the Meal-Master recipe
Usage: C:\TC\FILES\MMCREDIT.EXE infile [outfile]
infile - contains recipes in Meal-Master format
outfile - where to write modified Meal-Master recipes
by default: MMmmdd.1
If the program is renamed, the new name will display in the help
message.
By default the output file is: MMmmdd.1. mmdd representing 2 digit
month and day, of course. You may enter your own outfile as the second
parameter. If the output file exists, MMmmdd.n is attempted until a valid
output file can be created. If you provide your own file name, a similar
process is followed using your filename as the base and dropping any
extension.
A sample run:
MMCREDIT \rgg3\mmrecipe

Please include the version number which displays when MMCREDIT is run
without any parameters.
If you have suggestions send them to the same address. The current
program does what I need. But I intend to adjust it as I think of things
or people suggest new ideas to me.
If you use the program and don't want to register, drop me a postcard
anyway. Include any comments. I'd like to track the spread and usage just
out of curiousity. At least splurge enough to blow a quarter.
