- WHATS NEW IN VERSION 6.20 of MEAL-MASTER
-
- SPECIAL EXPORT FORMAT FOR PRODIGY (tm) Users
- --------------------------------------------
- A special extract format has been added for users of the Prodigy
- (tm) online service. This format is compatible with direct
- upload and download for users exchanging recipes via the Prodigy
- service. The "Extract Recipe Format" option on the Maintenance
- Menu allows choosing the "Normal" extract format or the new
- "Special *P" format for Prodigy. More information on exchanging
- recipes via Prodigy can be found in Prodigy's "Food and Wine" club,
- under the "Food Forum" subject.

-
- CONVERSION UTILITY FOR COMPUCHEF (tm) RECIPES
- ---------------------------------------------
- A conversion utility program, CC2MM.EXE, is provided to convert
- recipes in the CompuChef v1.5 export format to Meal-Master import
- format. Recipes are first exported from CompuChef to form a
- CompuChef Export file, then CC2MM is used to convert that file
- into a Meal-Master import file, then Meal-Master is used to
- actually import the file.

-
- IMPORT FORMAT RELAXED, ERROR MESSAGES ADDED
- -------------------------------------------
- For users that are using a word processor to prepare recipes that
- match the Meal-Master Import format, that format has been made
- easier than before. In addition, errors are analyzed and
- displayed on-screen to aide in resolution. See the file
- "IMPORT.DOC" for import file specifications.
-
-
- AUTOMATIC DUPLICATE REJECTION ON NON-STOP IMPORT
- ------------------------------------------------
- A new import option has been added to allow mass-import of
- recipes with automatic rejection of titles that already exist in
- the database. Selecting the "D)Nonstop w/Check" option when
- importing will check each recipe against the existing database
- and not import those that already exist. Optionally, a file
- named IMPORT.LOG can be created to provide a history of which
- recipes were rejected.
-
-
- SUPPRESSION OF "AS REQUIRED" QUANTITY AND UNIT
- ----------------------------------------------
- Ingredients with an "As Required" quantity (Quantity=1, Unit of
- Measure = x) are now shown on lists with a blank quantity and
- unit field.
-
-
- OVERRIDE OF CATEGORY ERROR ALLOWED
- ----------------------------------
- Previous versions of MM would not allow entering a recipe
- category that was not on the category list. Now an error message
- is generated warning that the category is not on the list, but
- you are allowed to override the error and enter the category
- anyway if desired.
-
-
- IMPORT MENU REWRITTEN
- ---------------------
- The Import Menu has been rewritten for easier use.
