Does Computer Cuisine Work With Windows or Macintosh Computers?

What is Computer Cuisine?
Computer Cuisine is a template for use with FileMaker® Pro from FileMaker, Inc. <www.filemaker.com> (Formerly the Claris Corporation). This template will allow you to conveniently view, print, sort, file, organize and save your cooking recipes. It’s features include a well designed layout that makes adding, viewing, sorting, finding and printing a snap. In addition to the simple, yet highly graphical layout, Computer Cuisine allows you to add an infinite number of your own recipes to the existing database. This will allow your personal recipe database to grow and grow!
Buttons are located at the top of the layout for added convenience. For example, just one of the buttons can sort all of your recipes with the click of your mouse! In the main menu, Computer Cuisine will alphabetically sort all of your recipes and give you a listing of your recipes from A-Z. This works much like the index in any cookbook you own, however, this index is updated everytime you add or remove a recipe! Yet, that is just one of many functions Computer Cuisine has to offer!
And with the extensive search capabilities already built into the program, you will now be able to search through all of the entered recipes with the touch of a button! You don't even have to know the exact name of the recipe, or ingredient.
Computer Cuisine also makes printing your recipes a snap! The Print Menu icon placed at the top of the layout, allows you to choose the size and color of your recipes in one stroke. Computer Cuisine has four printing options to choose from. The standard, or large size recipe will use the full paper size of (8 1/2 "x 11") for printing, to ensure an adequate amount of printing space. The small recipe size will print recipes that once trimmed and folded lenghtwise, can fit perfectly on a (3"x5") index card!
What Password Can I Use To Explore Computer Cuisine?
In order to access the Computer Cuisine demo, simply leave the password blank, and press "return."
Is Computer Cuisine Free?
Well, good question. However the answer is "No." Computer Cuisine is shareware. Thus, you are free to browse the product in the demo stage for as long as you wish. However, most of the vital functions such as: Editing Recipes, Adding New Recipes, Deleting Recipes, Printing Recipes and Changing the Layout have been disabled. In order to acquire the ability to use all of the functions you must register the product.
How Much Does It Cost To Register Computer Cuisine?
The cost to register Computer Cuisine is $10 (US Dollars). That's it, just 10 bucks. Hopefully this will be cheap enough for people to actually pay for it. There is a registration form attached to this manual. If you'd like to view it, please go to page three, or simply click the button to the lower right, and it will take you there.
 
What Do I Get When I Register?
When you mail in the completed "Registration Form" along with your payment, you will be sent a password that will unlock all the features of Computer Cuisine. This password will be sent by internet email, unless you desire a different method. Thus, in the registration form, please list the most reliable internet email address you have first. If you do not have an internet email address, I will send you a postcard with the password on it.
What About Updates? Are They free?
By registering Computer Cuisine, all future updates will be yours for free.
Who Should I Make My Check Out To?
If you are paying by personal check, (US Residents Only), please make your check payable to: Mike McGee. Please note: only personal checks written in US dollars will be accepted.
What About Foreign Currency?
Please pay using only US dollars. This should be in the form of cash. At one time I was able to accept International Money Orders, but now my bank charges me a $10 processing fee which makes them unacceptable. International Money Orders, Postal Money Orders, and Personal Checks not written by a bank located in the United States will NOT be accepted. This includes Canadian Postal Money Orders, Japanese "Yubin Kawase" and all other checks/money orders written in a foreign currency.
Where Do I Mail In The Registration Fee & Payment?

Mike McGee

After Registering Computer Cuisine, How Do I Remove The Password Protection?
There's an easy way to remove password protection from Computer Cuisine. (Just to be safe, you may want to work off of a copy, so that nothing happens to your original version in case of a mistake).
1. Launch Computer Cuisine as you normally would, and enter in your master password (given to you by email).
2. To remove password protection, go under the File menu and choose "Access Privileges" and then "Define Passwords..."
3. Once there, you can simply, delete, both the "blank" password menu option, and the main password menu option, and then there will be no password protection on the file at all.
4. Remember, there's nothing to fear. If you make a mistake under the password area and delete the wrong thing (which is nearly impossible) you can always just save another copy as I described above, and try again.
