DIETPLAN VERSION 2.00 - A PROGRAM FOR PLANNING YOUR DIET


INTRODUCTION

The DIETPLAN program comprises two files a FOODFILE which contains the food
data and a DIETFILE into which the user enters selected foods from the FOODFILE
to make an individual diet. Many DIETFILES may be created and saved to disc or
printed out. Data in the FOODFILE is related to normal portions of food such as
one apple or three rashers of bacon to allow easy selection, the user may add
extra foods to the FOODFILE and save to disc at any time.
Help screens are available via the F1 function key and during functions
explanatory messages are displayed to enable full operation without the manual.


INSTALLATION

The three files provided are the program DIETPLAN.EXE DIETEX which is the
FOODFILE and DOETPLAN.DOC which is this manual. Note the FOODFILE DIETEX must
be in the current directory for it to be found by the program during saving and
loading, also this file will expand as more foods are added.
DIETFILES are saved in the current directory or if prefixed by a drive letter
or directory (eg. A:MONDAY ) on the specified drive/directory. DIETFILES are
all saved with a suffix of .DIE to enable a directory of DIETFILES in the
