Newbie question

[Guest guest]

Trish (and all with the same question):

" Mastercook format " means a recipe that has been typed up or formatted

using the Mastercook program (a software program by Sierra for " recipe

management " ) OR a format that Mastercook will " import " (Mealmaster,

McBuster, " @@@@@ format " ) which I will explain better in a second.

You do not have to have Mastercook to to this list but, yes, I

do ask that the recipes posted be in " Mastercook format " for several

reasons. The two biggest are (1) For consistency purposes. I have been on

other lists where people posted recipes that were just a mess -- incomplete,

hard to understand, all mixed up, etc. (not that any of us would ever do

that). and (2) Those of us who have Mastercook can easily import the recipes

from our mailboxes directly into the cookbook(s) we designate in Mastercook.

There is no retyping, formatting, cut & paste, etc.

You can still post recipes in " Mastercook format " without having the

program. Instead of my trying to explain it, you can learn the " @@@@@ "

format (are you listening, Miriam?) by going to this website:

http://www.blarg.net/~msrooby/ which will also explain more Mastercook

stuff.

If you are interested in purchasing this wonder program (no, I don't

work for Sierra), right now, the 4.0 version (that I paid $40 for) can be

purchased for between $6 to $10 at Best Buy, Comp USA, OfficeMax, etc. A

5.0 version will be out in a few months if you would prefer to wait for

that.

I hope this explains things better. I think I'll save this post,

because this is sure to come up again.

Thank you all for joining my new list. I'm so excited! I just started

it late Sunday and we already have nearly 100 rs!
