ot a little, Value Soft Software.

[Guest guest]

I don't often post to this group, but love the recipes. I used to

use Mastercook 4.0 but have recently purchased a new computer and

Windows XP won't load the old software. I found that Sierra no

longer supports the software, and that Value Soft is now selling

it. Does anyone have experience with Value Soft and/or the Master

Cook 8.0? I really miss having the software to sort my recipes. I

have quite a few recipes that are only in the computer. Would like

to know if Value Soft is a good company to deal with.

thanks

In another Mastercook group I read that there was a work-around for How to

Patch MC 5-7 for XP SP2 ...

but it doesn't seem to mention MC 4.

if you have an American mailing address with a credit card liked to that

address, they are. If not....i fall into the latter category. Apparently

you can find older versions for less, but $20 isn't that much for a piece

of software that you use regularly.

 

I have heard a few reviews of MC 8. It's not that different from MC 6 (or

6.2, which was the first ValueSoft version) or 7.0, but it has a few new

features and the PDA link software--which I'm interested in--is supposed to

work better in 8.0 than 7.0. The core of the functionality is no different

from 6.x.
