- PLEASE READ IF YOU HAVE A VERSION OF MICROCOOK PRIOR TO 1.81!!!
-
- MicroCook now have a new database format, starting with version
- 1.81. The Preparation editor line numbers has increased from 34 lines
- to 50 lines. This came about after "pressure" from a MicroCook user that
- is into (advanced) desserts, and needed a lot of room to describe the
- preparations. And after a survey among registered MicroCook users, it
- became obvious that also others also wanted more lines in the
- Preparation editor.
- Since the database format has changed from version 1.68 to
- version 1.81, any version 1.68, or older, recipe database has to be
- converted before you can use it in MicroCook 1.81. This will happen
- (almost) automatically when you load a pre 1.81 database the first time.
- MicroCook will detect which version the database was created with, and
- will pop up a windows telling you that the database needs to be
- converted. In the same window you will have 2 options to select from.
- If OPTION 1 is selected, the database that's about to be loaded will
- first be renamed to a temporary name. Then all the recipes will be
- converted and copied to the new database with the same name as the
- one originally loaded. After the conversion is done, the old database and
- its index file (if any) will be deleted.
- VERY IMPORTANT: Unless you have a backup copy of this database
- in another directory, you will NOT be able to use it with MicroCook
- 1.68 again!
- With OPTION 2 you will be able to keep the original database.
- When selected you will be prompted for a file name for the NEW &
- CONVERTED database. MicroCook will then convert and save all the
- recipes to this new database, leaving the original untouched behind.
- You can then access the old one with MicroCook 1.68, and the new one
- with version 1.81, or keep the old long enough till you are sure the
- conversion was 100% successful.
-
- If you should have any problems or questions regarding the
- conversions, or any other MicroCook issue, please feel free to call, or
- send me an e-mail.
