-
- WHAT IT IS:
-
- This little utility is being released to enable users of the Meal Master
- recipe database program to check for records with duplicate recipe titles
- in their database. Although Meal Master has a duplicate checker built in
- for importing, it is possible for duplicate recipe titles to slip into the
- database during manual importing. (Like many users, I have a large number
- of recipes in multiple subdirectories so I import new recipes manually).
-
- My husband, Neil wrote this small program to save me time checking for
- duplicate recipe titles. We have decided to release it into the computing
- community as freeware (no registration fee). It may be freely distributed
- provided the code is not altered or no fee is charged without the
- permission of Neil or Anne MacLellan.
-
-
- LEGAL STUFF:
-
- We have no connection with Episoft or Scott Welliver and this program is
- not endorsed by Episoft Systems. Meal Master is a registered trademark and
- copyrighted by Scott Welliver and Episoft Systems.
-
- The authors are not responsible for any damage that may arise to one's
- computer or data using this program. Usage of this program constitutes
- acceptance of full liability for any damages incurred and releases Neil and
- Anne MacLellan from any liability or litigation for any reason. (This
- should not be problem if this program is obtained from a BBS with reliable
- virus screening proceedures.)
-
- I urge anyone using the shareware version of Meal Master to register the
- program with Episoft Systems. It is good program with great support by its
- author and he deserves payment for his efforts.
-
-
- HOW IT WORKS
-
- There are several steps to using MMDUP.EXE.
- MMDUP.EXE should be put in the same directory as MM.EXE (Meal Master).
-
-
- 1) From within Meal Master, select the Utilities menu. Choose "T" Title
- Index and 'O' to change Output to write it to a file (TLINDEX.TXT).
-
- 2) Exit Meal Master to the Dos prompt.
-
- 3) Type MMDUP.EXE. The following options will appear:
-
- F - write list of duplicate title to file MMDUP.TXT and display on screen
-
- Press any other key to display duplicate titles on screen only
-
- The program will search for duplicate recipe titles and display them on the
- screen along with the number of duplicate recipe titles fond. It will
- write them to the file MMDUP.TXT (if desired).
-
- If it does not find any duplicate recipe titles, the following message will
- appear.
-
- "No duplicate recipe titles found"
-
- In the event you have forgotten to run a Title Index in Meal Master, the
- following message will appear.
-
- "No TLINDEX.TXT found. You must run Meal Master, select the Utilities
- Menu, select "T" for Title Index and then "O" to change Output to
- file TLINDEX.TXT"
-
- 4) The program will end and return you to the DOS prompt. You may then
- restart Meal Master, view the records with the duplicate titles and rename
- or delete them as you wish.
-
- Hope that you find this program as useful as I have.
