- Master Recipe Systems STEVENS
- by Shelley Rogers from: Sharon Stevens
-
- NOTE: These listings are the latest I have available to
- me. If you've moved, please let me know. Also, if you
- have a system I haven't covered, let me know and I'll see
- what I can do to add you to the program.
-
-
- PURPOSE
-
- This program is designed to allow users to take messages
- they've captured from the net, and parse them in a format that
- will allow them to import them into their favorite Recipe
- program(s).
- Currently supported programs are:
- Quikbook, VITTLES, CompuChef, MealMaster, MRS: Master Recipe System,
- Stevens and Other generic recipes.
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS
-
- This program will run on any PC or clone with 640k (or more),
- and PC or MS-DOS 2.11 or later. It has been tested under 5.0 and
- runs fine. It is also suggested that you have a hard drive, but
- this is not required.
-
-
- HOW IT WORKS
-
- Recipeco works by looking through your text file for
- identifiers that specify a particular style of recipe. The program
- will then place each type of recipe in its own file. At this point,
- your output will be similar to that produced by FOOD24.BAS. If
- you like to keep files for different programs seperately, then all
- you need to do is rename these files before running Recipeco
- again.
- However, if you're lazy like me, you really want to have
- all those recipes automatically converted to the format your
- program uses. To tell Recipeco to do this, you invoke the
- program with a command-line flag. Examples:
-
- Run program and leave files seperate:
- c:\>recipeco
-
- Run program and convert to Quikbook:
- c:\>recipeco QB
-
- Run program and convert to MealMaster:
- c:\>recipeco MM
-
- ** Command Line arguments for other systems are:
- **
- ** CompuChef - CC
- ** Vittles - VT
- ** Stevens - ST
-
- After you start the program, you will be given a list (22 at
- a time) of files in that directory. You will then be asked to
- enter the name of the file you want to use as the input file.
- Once you've entered a valid filename, the system will show a
- count of the lines as it goes through the file. You will then be
- given a listing of how many files of each type were found. If
- you specified an automatic conversion, the system will tell you
- as it finishes each conversion to the target format.
-
- ** Currently, automatic conversions work with Quikbook, MealMaster,
- ** Vittles, CompuChef, and Stevens recipe systems as the destination.
-
- ** Because MealMaster, etc. are more structured formats than QuikBook,
- ** you will probably want to review the final file before attempting the import.

- FUTURE
-
- Anything else you think you'd like added I'd like to hear about.
- You can reach me by mail at the address in the introduction, or
- leave me a message on the COOKING echo, or drop me a line at
- Recipeco's Home BBS - Terraboard.

- THANKS
-
- Thanks go to Bob Butler for QBook which got me interested
- in all this, the members of the COOKING echo for their
- wonderful recipes which have made writing this a labor of love,
- and John P. Nicholson who's FOOD24.BAS helped me figure out the
- formats used by some of the various recipe packages.
-
- ** Also to Joann Pierce for putting up with my posts on the Echo :-)
