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.
Note: Prodigy is a registered trademark of Prodigy Services
Company.
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.
Note: CompuChef is a trademark of Hillstepper Software.
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.
