- Version 2.0 is the first update since the original release of ver 1.5
- This version is meant to provide 4 new features, and fix some bugs.
-
- New features: New field for the source of the recipe. This allows
- you to use CC as a cross-reference for all of your
- recipes.
-
- Index Cards. Almost any size index card can now be
- printed.
-
- Multiple recipe sets allows you to separate recipes
- into different directories.
-
- Now checks for duplicate recipe titles when importing.
-
- Problems in ver 1.5: There was no way to change the serving size without
- adjusting all of the ingredients. This is necessary
- if you add a recipe, and then find that it made more
- or less than you anticipated.
-
- If you imported a recipe with 49 or more ingredients,
- the edit & delete functions would not work. FIXED
-
- If you imported a large file (over 150 recipes,) you
- might have gotten an out of memory error. FIXED
-
- Category & Ingredient maintenance had a problem
- changing from upper to lower case, and vv. FIXED

- ║ INSTALLING Compu-Chef ║
- ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
-
- You may simply copy all of the files onto a hard or floppy disk if
- you are installing this for the first time. If you have a previous
- version, or you just want to use the automatic installation, use
- one of the following batch files. This will not replace any of
- your existing recipes with the new ones. If you want to use the
- new recipes, export them from this disk to another disk. Then
- import them in with your existing recipes.
-
- For HARD DRIVE use, type HINSTALL C: (if C is your hard drive).
- For FLOP DRIVE use, type FINSTALL B: (if B is your floppy drive).

- ║ RUNNING Compu-Chef ║
- ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
-
- From your CC directory or from your PROGRAM disk type :
-
- CC for color monitors
- CC M for monochrome
-
-
- ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
- ║ HINTS ║
- ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
-
- ** If you plan to store hundreds & hundreds of recipes, the program
- will run faster if you split the recipes up into different recipe
- sets that CC now supports.
-
- ** When entering recipes like side dishes, and it would go well with
- say chicken, add an ingredient -> 'serve with chicken'.
- This way, if we want to know what would go well with chicken,
- we do a find on 'serve with chicken' !
-
- ** When entering ingredients, always put the main ingredient name first.
- If you are entering DICED ONIONS, enter it ONIONS - DICED. This
- way CC can find all recipes with any kind of onions.
-
- ** If you notice that you have some ingredients in your ingredient list
- that are very similar, and you would like make them the same. For
- example: ONIONS - DICED & ONIONS - CHOPPED.
- Use the utilities: Category Maintenance, and change the name of one
- of the ingredients to the other. This will rename that ingredient
- in the corresponding recipes also.
-
- ** When entering ingredients, if you hit enter in the empty field, a
- handy pick-list of ingredients will appear. This list is helpful
- to see how you entered a previos ingredient (eg EGGS or EGG) .
-
- >> USE THE LETTER KEYS IN PICK-LISTS TO MOVE AROUND QUICKLY <<
-
- ** Look at the Sample.Txt file if you wish to import recipe files
- with no certain format. You can NOT just import any ASCII file
- you happen to pull off a bulletin board and import it, it must be
- formatted in the same way as the sample file is. Compu-Chef will
- be able to import recipes from many other cooking programs auto-
- matically, so send in the REGISTRATION, to get the latest version!
-
- ** You don't have to enter Tbsp, tsp, or cup for these 3 unit's of
- measurement, you can enter T, t, and c respectively, and Compu-Chef
- will automatically covert to Tbsp, tsp, or cup. This is for both
- importing and while entering a recipe.
-
- ** You can clean out and delete your entire recipe file by typing:
-
- CC CLEAN **WARNING** This will permanently delete all
- recipe information - so be sure.
