Dan,
Personally I'd say software for dealing with Chile recipes isn't OT! And
thanks, as I mentioned in my private note asking for the recipes, the Buster
program you mentioned converts Meal-Master to MasterCook, and simply
converts text to MasterCook after fairly minor formatting. Easier to use
than the MC Import Assistant under Win2000--it crashes the program.
I'm assuming that you had a number of requests for your recipes, so this
might be of interest to at least a few on the list.
When I converted them from mealmaster to mastercook using Buster a few had
errors on import. The errors turned out to be embedded form feeds, which
kept the instructions from importing. Easily removed in Word by opening the
converted file, in this case "chilehea.don" (.don is the output extension
that Buster uses) as a text file, and searching for a "hard page break" (
^m in Word search and replace) and replacing it (with nothing, or a space).
In an ascii text editor the form feeds appear as a 'female' symbol, an "O"
with a plus sign connected at the bottom. You can search and delete it, but
not using MS edit in DOS.
Thanks again,
Riley
PS If anyone wants Dan's list in Mastercook format let me know off list and
I'll send it.
