 INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING IN SEPARATE SUB-DIRECTORIES AND NON
REGISTERED AND NO CLONE & MERGE UTILITY FROM SPECIALTY MICROWARE

1.   From the directory in which you have you ECB files make the
     following sub-directories:
     APPETIZ   BREAKFAS  DESSERT   MEAT      POULTRY   SEAFOOD
     BEVERAGE  CAKE      EGGS      PASTA     SALAD     SOUP
     BREAD     CANNING   GRAVIES   PIZZA     SANDWICH  VEGETABL

     Suppose you have your ECB files in a directory named RECIPE.
     You would change to the RECIPE directory from the boot
     directory with the following command: CD RECIPE
     Then your prompt will be C:\RECIPE>
     Now you will make the sub-directories as follows:
     Type MD XXXXXXXXX   (Where XXXXXXXX is one of the 18 names
                         above)

2.   From the 4 disks, copy the appropriate files with the ZIP
     extension to the appropriate sub-directories. Using the above
     example of RECIPE for a directory and you have the disk in the
     A: drive, and you are on the C: drive,
     type COPY A:XXXXXXXX.ZIP C:\RECIPE\XXXXXXXXXX
     where XXXXXXXXX's is one of the 18 names files above; i.e.
     COPY A:APPETIZ.ZIP C:\RECIPE\APPETIZ

3.   Use must use the CATEGORY.DAT file on the disk with the ECB
     program because of new categories and sub-categories. If you
     want to keep your original CATEGORY.DAT file, rename it with
     something like CATEGORY.OLD with the rename command. Do it as
     follows from the prompt. REN CATEGORY.DAT CATEGORY.OLD. Now
     copy the CATEGORY.DAT file from the disks to your directory
     with the ECB files.

4.   To make this easy you must have or copy PKUNZIP.EXE in your
     root directory for the following. You must do this eighteen
     times; once for each sub-directory you are in. PLEASE HAVE
     PATIENCE. YOU ARE GOING TO UNCOMPRESS A TOTAL OF 6 MEGS OF
     RECIPE FILES AND THIS WILL TAKE TIME. IT WAS COMPRESSED ON A
     386 MACHINE AND TOOK QUITE A WHILE. Change to any one of the
     eighteen sub-directories, for example;. CD\RECIPE\APPETIZ
     Now while IN the subdirectory type PKUNZIP XXXXXXXX.ZIP where
     the XXXXXXXX is one of the eighteen sub-directories with the
     same name zip files; for example staying with the above
     PKUNZIP APPETIZ.ZIP - This will create four files in each sub-
     directory with the same names RECIPE.DAT RECIPE.IXC RECIPE.IXN
     RECIPE.NUM - When you are done you will have eighteen sub-
     directories with the same four file names in them but of
     different lengths. Now you can go and delete the files with
     the ZIP extensions from all eighteen subdirectories.

5.   Now from within ECB you can select drive and change to any one
     of the eighteen sub-directories for the eighteen categories
     with the same names and have ALMOST 3500 RECIPES AT YOUR
     FINGERTIPS.      INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING IN ONE SUB-DIRECTORY AND
          REGISTERED AND HAVE THE CLONE & MERGE UTILITY
                     FROM SPECIALTY MICROWARE

1.   If you have the two utilities from being registered and want
     to make ONE HUGE 6 MEG FILE proceed as follows. If you have
     any recipes already and want to same them, YOU MUST TAKE THE
     EXISTING RECIPE.DAT RECIPE.IXC RECIPE.IXN RECIPE.NUM files and
     CATEGORY.DAT files and remname them to save them to make this
     work because there are new categories and sub-categoriues in
     this huge database. An example would be to rename all the
     recipe files as follows REN RECIPE.* OLD.* and you will have
     the following OLD.DAT OLD.IXN OLD.IXC OLD.NUM to go back to
     later. Or you could make a subdirectory called OLD under the
     recipe directory with MD OLD from the C:>\RECIPE directory.
     Just copy the files to the old directory then with the command
     COPY RECIPE.* \RECIPE\OLD - Also the CATEGORY.DAT file must be
     renamed as CATEGORY.OLD or copied to a subdirectory such as
     old to have for later.

2.   Make a subdirectory caleed TEMP with the command MD TEMP from
     the root directory C:>. Change to this directory with the
     command CD TEMP. Find where you have the MERGE.EXE file and
     copy it to the temp directory using the standard DOS command.

3.   Take one of the disks and copy any of the ZIP files to this
     directory. To make this easy you must have or copy PKUNZIP.EXE
     in your root directory for the following. From within the TEMP
     directory with the ZIP file type PKUNZIP XXXXXXXXX.ZIP where
     XXXXXXXXX is the name of one of the eighteeen zip files on the
     disks. You will get 4 files; RECIPE.DAT RECIPE.IXC RECIPE.IXN
     RECIPE.NUM - For the first time you must copy these files to
     the recipe directory with the command COPY RECIPE.* \RECIPE
     and the four files will copy to the recipe directory. Then
     erase all files in the temp directory with the command DEL
     RECIPE.* and DEL *.ZIP

4.   Repat step 3 for another zip file except when it is unzipped
     you must do the following. Type MERGE. At the first screen hit
     return. At the second screen for the TARGET file enter a N for
     No. At the third screen for the source type a Y. Then enter
     \TEMP and return. at the last screen hit any key any you will
     see a running count of the files merging. At the end then
     delete the zip file and the recipe files in the temp directory
     as shown in step three and repeat step three until you have
     un-zipped all eighteen files and merged them. PLEASE HAVE
     PATIENCE. YOU ARE GOING TO UNCOMPRESS A TOTAL OF 6 MEGS OF
     RECIPE FILES AND THIS WILL TAKE TIME. IT WAS COMPRESSED ON A
     386 MACHINE AND TOOK QUITE A WHILE. When you are all done you
     can delete all files in the temp directory. return to the main
     directory and delete the temp directory with RD TEMP. Chaneg
     to the recipe directory and type ECB. After the opening screen
     select the utility menu and select A. DISPLAY # of Recipes and
     you will get ~ 3400.
