! 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.
