Introduction
The Recipe Box is a graphic data base program that is
specifically designed for cataloging and printing recipes.
This program can have 52 different categories to store
recipes in. Each category can hold 52 recipes.
There are 5 graphic windows that you will use to find,
display, print, and edit your recipe.
The first window is located at the bottom of the screen.
It contains the control buttons that will be used on the
other windows. The buttons & there usage will be detailed
later.
The second window displays 52 file folders. This one is
used for your main categories. (soups, appetizers, etc.)
The third window displays one file folder that will list
all the recipes in it.
The fourth window is a recipe card. It will display the
recipe.
The fifth window is the card editor window. This is the
window you use to edit new or old recipes.

Installation & Setup
I recommend you keep this program in its own directory. It
will create a lot of files as you add more categories and
recipes.
USING FROM A FLOPPY
1. Format a floppy disk using your favorite disk formattor.
2. Drag the drawer icon from the original Recipe Box disk
to the new floppy.
3. Run the program on the new disk and put your original
away in a safe place.
NOTE!: I recommend you also keep a current backup of your
work disk. The Amiga seems prone to disk errors.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
USING FROM A HARD DRIVE
1. Drag the drawer icon from the original Recipe Box disk
to the hard drive.
2. Run the program on the hard drive and put your original
away in a safe place.
You can also create a directory and drag the Recipe Box
icon in it. By doing this you will have a completely empty
box until you add data.
NOTE: You can only have one Recipe Box program in a
directory. Each program must have its own directory.
It would be pointless to have more because they would
all use the same data.
