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.



Enhancements/Fixes

of recipes in different directories.
