Gunterman" Subject: Re: Cooking software Comments: To: Kelly Day Rubenstein , EAT-L@ipe.cc.vt.edu To: Multiple recipients of list EAT-L Status: RO I can HIGHLY recommend software called MasterCook! I have both the Macintosh and Windows versions on my machines @ home and they are GREAT! Most important.. their customer service/tech support is first rate! Being a Tech Support Rep. for as they say on wheel of fortune "a Major Networking Co. in the North East" I think customer service is the most important consideration when purchasing any product. I have bought/Not Bought software solely based upon my perception of the competence of a company's customer service.... For me "1 call tells it all"! I think their address is support@arion.com but I cant remember exactly.. maybe somebody on the list that has actually had problems w/ the software can give you the address!?!? You can download also demo version's of their software(can only hold 15 recipes and "major" functions are disabled) from their BBS..@ 512 327 9814 hope this helps!

Naturally, I'd like some info on cooking software now. My on line computer is at work, and (what will be) my cooking computer is off-line at home. What type of software would be good? I want to store recipes, have some searching capacity, and get nutrition con- tents (if poss.). I have a Compaq 286, with limited memory. Any suggestions?

I love MasterCook II for Windows, but doubt if it would run on your computer. I understand that MicroCook Book in the DOS Version is a good program. I had the Windows Version of MicroCook Book and it was a nightmare; however, their support people were wonderful and tried their very best to help (to no avail). HOWEVER, IF YOU CAN USE MASTERCOOK II, DO IT!!! I would imagine that their technical support people are as busy as the Maytag repairman.

Nearly all the recommendations were for MasterCook, which seems very popular. I, however, do not have Windows and MasterCook requires at least Windows. Another program for Windows that was recommended is Scratch, downloadable from America On-line, apparently. A gentleman sent me an address for archive that can be accessed through FTP (another capacity I don't have). Having limited disk space (as well!), I unfortunately didn't save it. For those of us still in the dark ages of DOS only systems, MicroCook Book was suggested. However, MicroCook Book for Windows did not recieve a favaorable review (I hope there isn't anything libelous about the statement). My next task, to find MicroCook Book! Again, thanks to all. ----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Please do mail your replies to all of us!!
