! * CONVERSION TABLE for MANAGING YOUR FOOD Vers 3 and 4 Greg Aakhus *
! **************************************************************************
!
! MYF.TBL: This file is the U.S.RDA and measurement conversion table.
! All lines starting with a "!" are ignored by the program.
! Its purpose is to inform the recipe program what numbers
! to use as RDA and measurement multiplying values. As with
! everything in the program, you may change (update) RDA's
! and multipliers.
!
!
! RDA Values:
! The following is a listing of current RDA's for the four categories.
! Note: These are the U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances set in 1973
! from the FDA. Do not confuse these with the Recommended Dietary
! Allowances (RDA) from the Nation Research Council.
!
! Warning: do not add or rearrange lines between Vitamin A and
! END of RDA. Change only the values desired. Infant values must
! be within column 20-29, child 30-39, adult 40-49, Pregnant 50-59.
! INFANT CHILD ADULT PREGNANT or LACTATING WOMEN
! ------ ----- ----- ---------------------------

! Conversion Values:
! This next section lists the commonly used conversion multipliers,
! like how many cups in a quart, etc. It does not contain volume to
! weight conversions. Those are ingredient specific and are contained
! in the ingredient file for each ingredient. If a value is not
! found, the program gives you the option to add to this table
! automatically.
!
! The values here probably never need changing, but you may want
! to change measurement names. If you prefer C. instead of cup,
! then change all the "cup"s here, and in the PLAN, MEAL, RECIPE
! and INGREDIENT Files. Upper and lowercase letters are treated
! as the same. Caution: Fluid oz. and weight oz. are easily confused.
!
! Follow the format in the file and remember:
! 1) Multiplier can be a maximum of 4 characters including decimal
! point. Multiplier must be larger than 1. The program will
! reverse values automatically for big to small. Put the small
! measurement first. Measurements can be a maximum of 3 characters.
! 2) Any line beginning with a ! is a comment line and not processed.
! 3) 100 values (non commented lines) are allowed.
!
! Measurements are grouped for clarity, grouping is not required.
