INSTALLATION
Unpack this file in the directory where you plan to perform your
recipe conversions. Probably the same directory your recipe database
is. The files in this package should be:
RECIPECO.EXE - Executable
RECIPECO.DOC - More Information about Recipeco
READ.ME - This file
** MEASLIST.TXT - File with known measurements
** INGRLIST.TXT - File with known ingredients
Enjoy using Recipeco.exe. I know I do :-)
** WHATS NEW
** 0.975 has some small fixes to the MealMaster and CompuChef
** parsing to support some of the "non-standard" things that can happen
** to these files on the net. This version also introduces a FULL
** automatic conversion from the supported recipe styles (including
** OTHER) to MealMaster format by using MM on the command line.
** Conversion of recipes from the supported styles to QuikBook format
** is also still available.
** The accuracy of the MealMaster conversion depends on the
** initial format. Some of the more Free-form formats (QB and OT)
** show about a 98% accuracy. Others (such as CompuChef) are much
** closer to a 99.99% accuracy. What this means is that you probably
** want to review the Mealmast file in your favorite editor before
** actually performing the import.
** What was most interesting (to me) was the tendancy for MealMaster
** export files to get grunged up in transmission. So, I no longer
** just parse them out, but also do some formatting/cleaning up even
** if a conversion isn't called for.
** The reason I've gone ahead with a 0.975 release rather than the
** 0.98 I planned is that our first child is due this next week, and
** based on the volumes on the NET, it seemed like getting a MealMaster
** conversion out now, and letting the CompuChef conversion slide a bit
** was a better idea than holding off the release for another two weeks.
** A 0.98 release which adds CompuChef conversion is still planned, and
** will be followed up by a 0.99 release that covers conversions to
** Vittles and Stevens formats. MRS I understand is not a publically
** available system, and a conversion to Other seems rather pointless :-)
** Based on this schedule, 1.00 will probably be out around Christmas.
** This means the Windows version will be out sometime in mid-January.
** Will be open for other ideas after that. As always, I'm interested
** in hearing any ideas you might have for this program.
