It is officially supported by the publisher, Valuesoft, www.valuesoft.com.
You can buy it there, or Amazon, among others. Don't get the d/l version,
it's incomplete and comes from a different company. Get the CD, v9. Under
$20.
There is much better user support here at the MasterCook yahoo group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MastercookDiscussion/
A better place for more in depth questions. Many there think that valuesoft
will _not_ release a new version supporting vista, with new features. (It
does work on vista with some easy tweaks.) I think it's worth it anyway. And
if push comes to shove, it is a standard which almost all other recipe mgmt
programs will import, I'm told.
I really like it and see no reason to change, even if it goes end of life.
(Personally, I'd like to see Valuesoft release the code under a BSD license.
Or GPL. But Open Source it.)

There are free programs that help convert text files into MC format.
www.mctagit.com is one. There are also free macros available for the full
featured text editor Notetab. I use mctagit, not notetab.

HS Spanish was longer ago than I care to dwell on. ;-)
