It is the intent of DO-DAT INDUSTRIES to provide software so
user friendly that no manual is required.
Some hints, however, are in order. Do not use this
disk without first making a backup copy. Think of it as an IQ
test. No backup and you flunk. Insert a blank disk and enter
the following dos command: format /s then insert this disk
and enter the following dos command: copy *.* b: Obey the
prompts. Put your original disk in a safe place away from
heat, electric wires, speakers etc. It is an excellent idea
to write protect your copy unless you intend to use the
append feature.
MEALMATE does not understand punctuation marks!!!!!!!!!
When prompted for a food name follow the following guides:
whole milk NO!
milk, whole NO!
milk whole YES!
juice, pineapple NO!
pineapple juice YES!
green beans NO!
beans green Yes!
If your entry is not found MEALMATE will display a list of
foods with similar spelling. If no foods are listed try a
different way of naming the food. It is to your considerable
self interest not to use the append feature unless you are
absolutely sure of your data. Note that at most prompts an
underline is displayed which indicates the longest entry that
MEALMATE will accept at that point. In particular, the food
name is limited to 14 characters. If you get a little
frustrated with the format of data entries there is no reason
why you should not copy down the data of the existing entry
and use the append feature to add it to the data base under
whatever name you like. For those of you not familiar with
the concept of food exchanges, within a given food group any
two foods having equal exchange value times quantity may be
swapped with no effect on nutrition. This program was
targeted to the 10 percent of our population who are diabetic
as the only source of complete nutritional information
readily available for glucose level control but is of value
to anyone who must or wishes to precisely control intake,
even the fat broad next door. It is consistent with the
guidelines established by the American Diabetes Association,
the American Medical Association, WeightWatchers
International, and the Grace L. Furgenson Aluminum Storm Door
and Fat Control Monday Night Fellowship Society.
ABSOLUTELY FREE AND UNRESTRICTED COPIES MAY BE HAD BY ANY
