Purpose and Structure of Handbook. a. The purpose of the handbook is to provide a ready reference for the use and operation of the Compu-Chef Cookbook & Nutrition Guide software. b. General Information: COMPU-CHEF is an electronic cookbook and nutrition guide. On the cookbook side, Compu-Chef contains over 100 traditional American family recipes accumulated by four Iowa farm family generations and presented here for your use and enjoyment. COMPU-CHEF is also a sophisticated use of the computer for the storage, retrieval and computation of various dietary information valuable for these (and any other) recipes. Registration of this version is $10.00. That pays me for my work in developing this ShareWare product. If you elect to take the product (as is) for free, then you are perfectly within your rights to do so ... this version (Version 1991.4) is also advertised as BannerWare. However, payment of the $10.00 will ensure that you receive notices of updates and a telephone number to call for support. Also, you may register this version and receive 160+ new recipes for a $12.50 payment (the extra $2.50 pays for the diskette and extra mail costs.) If you are really impressed and want to get the state-of-the-art commercial version after you've registered this ShareWare version, simply enclose a check or money order for $29.95 less what you've already paid (we keep good records) ... and it's yours. You lose nothing by registering and trying the ShareWare version for a while if you opt to buy the commercial version later. Please type C:\COMPCHEF\REGISTER at the DOS prompt to receive the invoice form if you are interested in supporting this work and joining the happy band of registered Compu-Chef users. Thank you. Page # 1 1-2. FEATURES: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Over 100 excellent recipes are included. Capacity to create and store an additional 2,200+ recipes of your own creation or preference. 26 categories available for easy recipe storage, retrieval, and archiving. Directories for all categories are displayed by the full title you give to the recipe. View, add, update, delete, and search recipe functions from one menu. Recipes are always displayed (and printed) in a standard visual format for recipes. No more wearing your fingers out copying your best recipes for friends and relatives ... print the recipe as many times as you desire using your dot-matrix printer. Complete nutrition information available at the touch of a button for Calories, Protein, Fat, Carbohydrates, Calcium, and Sodium (salt) for all recipes ... including the ones that you add. (Over 6000 elements in the nutrition data base). With Compu-Chef you will be able to compute the nutritional value of home recipes for the entire recipe and for each individual serving. File notes and other supplemental information with your recipes that will "pop-up" at the push of a button while viewing the recipe. A Shopping List pop-up note pad is available while viewing the recipes. The shopping List appears in the right half of the screen so that you may VIEW the ingredients of a recipe at the same time. Type in those items that you need, file the Shopping List, and then call up another recipe. If you need items for the new recipe, simply call for the Shopping List and continue entering items. (See NOTE #1, Page #3). Page # 2 A note pad (not in the Shopping List format) is also available for the purpose of writing, storing, retrieving, and printing notes that you make to yourself. This feature is provided as a self-contained planning guide but may be used for any purpose. Swap recipes (that contain full nutrition information) with other Compu-Chef users by copying the recipes to diskette or by uploading / downloading to an electronic bulletin board. Instantly convert any recipe stored in Compu-Chef to increase or decrease the number of persons served by the recipe. This is great when you want to serve two people with a 6-serving recipe ... or you need to convert Grandma's best casserole to serve the whole gang. Get an instant common measures table at the push of a button. Calculate your projected calorie intake based on how much you want to weigh, your sex, and your age. Accumulate 60 days worth of statistics on weight-loss / gain for the entire family. Project a chart that graphically represents your progress toward achieving your weight goals. Search all Compu-Chef recipes using relational operators (search keys) for combinations of relationships between calories, protein, carbohydrates, fats, calcium, and sodium. Full View function available for all recipes found. Search all Compu-Chef recipes for up to five ingredients. Full View function for all recipes qualified. Most importantly ... Compu-Chef is EASY TO USE and generally accepts the information for recipes the way that you would normally write them down in your recipe notebook. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Compu-Chef is a very large application because of the complexity of its programming and due to the large number of recipes included. DB Software, Inc. will not honor requests for refunds on registrations made after July 1st, 1990 due to disk size limitations on your personal computer. We advise anyone making a purchase after notification of system specifications to hold your current copy until you upgrade your system. Remember, most worthwhile programs / applications need much more than 360k to operate. Page # 3 1-3. Using the Keyboard. a. When adding recipe ingredients in Screen #2 of the ADD or UPDATE function, remember to place a comma (,) between the quantity and measure, and between the measure and the ingredient. Example: You would normally say ... 1 medium onion, finely diced Compu-Chef needs for you to say ... 1, medium, onion, finely diced The requirement for commas is the only divergence by Compu-Chef from the way people normally write recipes and the reason is that the computer needs to absolutely identify the quantity, the measure, and the ingredient so that computations can be made quickly for the nutritive values. b. Always press ESC (the Escape key) when you are finished with Screens #2, #3, #4, and #5 in the ADD or UPDATE mode. You will press ESC twice on Screen #5 to exit the program and save your new recipe (or updated recipe). c. You may print your recipes in the VIEW mode by pressing ALT-P. This will print the recipe as one file to the character printer. d. You may also print the recipes one screen at a time by pressing CTRL-P in the VIEW mode. CTRL-P will also print any information screen seen in the VIEW mode including Nutrition Summary, Help, Measures, Calorie Computer, Number of Servings Recomputations, etc. e. Help for the full-page edit functions of ADD and UPDATE for screens #2, #3, #4, and #5 is available by pressing ALT-H. f. Help for the functions of VIEW is available by pressing the letter "H" when viewing a recipe. Page # 4 1-4. System Information. a. Hardware Requirements: Compu-Chef has been beta site tested to run on IBM-PC and PS/2 or compatibles. (1) A hard disk with at least 720k free space is needed to run Compu-Chef in its entirety. (2) An installation procedure (shown in the README.1ST file) is recommended to all users regardless of how many, or what type, of disk drive(s) are part of your personal computing system. Page # 5 1-5. Disclaimer. a. DB Software, Inc. is not responsible for the accuracy of the nutritional computations shown for recipes as a result of Compu-Chef's data base or computations. The nutrition data is a non-medical guide. All nutrition information is approximate at best. Our data was taken from public publications authored by the Department of Agriculture and we have made an honest effort to be accurate. However, there is no such thing as a perfect program or perfect data base and we are not claiming perfection for Compu-Chef. You must be aware that this guide is not a medical or dietary certification of the nutritional value of a recipe or ingredient used in a recipe. A doctor or dietician should always be consulted for reliable information concerning diet (especially if you have dietary limitations because of an over-weight condition, concerns about sodium intake, cholesterol intake, if you are diabetic, or if you have any other special dietary needs or concerns.) This product, and the use of this product, is NOT endorsed, sponsored, or recommended by a doctor, dietician, medical group or medical organization. To paraphrase the above statement; feel comfortable about using Compu-Chef as a guide while you are looking for good recipes to prepare for your family, but if you must have CERTIFIED nutrition information ... get it from a doctor or licensed dietician.

VIEWING RECIPES The following instructions are a step-by-step guide for using the many functions available in the VIEW mode of Compu-Chef. 1. Access the Compu-Chef sub-directory (path) by typing: CD\COMPCHEF 2. Run the program by typing: COOKMENU ... or ... COOKMENU V NOTE: If you use the command "V" you will skip both the Compu-Chef logo and the Main Menu. Move to Step # 5 3. You will receive the Compu-Chef logo. Press the <Enter> key (or any key) to receive the Main Menu. 4. Press the number 1 when the Main Menu is received. (You may also use the up and down arrow keys or the approriate command line letters for selections from the Main Menu.) The ESC and CTRL-Q functions will return you to the SYSTEM from the Main Menu. ALT-Q will refresh the Main Menu screen. 5. You will now receive the Categories Available Screen. Enter a letter code that corresponds with the category for the recipe to be viewed. (You may also use the arrow keys to 'point' to your category selections.) The ESC key will return you to the Main Menu. ALT-Q also returns you to the Main Menu from the Categories Available Screen. CTRL-Q will return you to the SYSTEM. 6. You will receive the QUALIFYING RECIPE FILES Screen for that category. This directory is alphabetic (based on the title of the recipe) and is accessed by using the up/down arrow keys, page up/down, home, and end keys. There are five (5) total screens available each containing a maximum of 20 alphabetically listed recipe titles for a total of 100 recipes for 26 categories (2,600 possible). ESC returns you to the Categores Available Screen. ALT-Q returns you to the Main Menu. CTRL-Q returns you to the SYSTEM. 7. You will now receive the 1st of 3 pages of Recipe screens. Page # 8 8. FUNCTIONS Available from the RECIPE Screens (1-3) are: C ... The Calorie Computer F ... Terminal Configuration Utility H ... This HELP Screen M ... Cooking Weights and Measures N ... Nutrition Data for the Recipe Being Viewed S ... Supplemental RECIPE Information W ... Table of Weights for Men and Women Note: The functions shown immediately above "toggle" with the keystroke shown. The Calorie Computer and Number Served Conversion Utility ask questions before allowing you to return to the VIEW function. X ... Number Served Conversion Utility Note: See para 17 of this section of the manual for this utility. D ... Daily Planning Note Pad L ... Produce, Update and Print a RECIPE Shopping List ^P ... @P - Screen Dump to Printer OR Print Recipe as a Report Note: These functions have their own logic for returning to the VIEW function. The PRINTs return when the print is complete. The note pads allow you to file, erase, and print. Return to VIEW is accomplished by pressing the Escape key (you will be prompted to save when exiting either the Shopping List or Planning Guide notepads). 9. The RECIPES themselves are the focus of COMPU-Chef. The recipes shown on pages 1 through 3 are in the format Title, Oven Temperature (hi-lighted), Number Served, and the List of Ingredients. Then you receive complete cooking / preparation instructions. Three pages are allowed for this information basic to a recipe, but usually only two pages are needed (even for long recipes). Pg Up and Pg Dn give you complete access to all of the screens needed to VIEW the recipe. NOTE: The recipe screen may be "dumped" to your printer by pressing the Ctrl-P keys, as may most of the screens and pop-ups available to the VIEW function. Page # 9 10. The Calorie Computer is accessed by pressing the letter "C" while in the VIEW mode. The Calorie Computer requests information and returns you to the VIEW mode when you have entered your desired weight, age, sex, and have received a projected daily calorie estimate. Press the letter "C" again when you have received your calorie estimate (toggle) to return the VIEW function. NOTE: You may want to view the Weight Chart for Men and Women available during the RECIPE VIEW function and the Daily Weight Charts main menu function. See para 18 of this section of the manual. 11. The configuration utility allows you to permanently specify: a. The drive and pathname in which to store the Compu-Chef recipes and disk-based manual. (1) The sub-directory must be followed by the character "\". If you elect to change the sub-directory in the configuration file, be sure to move all recipe files and the manual to the new drive and sub-directory. Use the INSTALL program provided to initially load Compu-Chef with the "MOVE" parameter, i.e., C: <Enter> CD\COMPCHEF <Enter> INSTALL MOVE <Enter> (2) The line in the configuration file controlling the drive designator and pathname is so marked. b. Colors may be configured for Compu-Chef if you have a color monitor. Any changes in lines #2 through #5 for those of you using monochrome monitors in meaningless. Lines are designated with the functions they control. Alter foreground, background, and blink attributes using the table provided as text in the lower portion of the configuration file. (1) Compu-Chef comes configured to a background of blue with white letters. If your color monitor does not automatically display these colors, you may want to alter the foreground and background attributes until a pleasing combination is found. DO NOT specify the foreground and background attributes as the same number as the text will become "invisible". (2) Your new color scheme will not be recognized until you press "Esc" to save the configuration file and exit the editor. Page # 10 c. Access the configuration utility by pressing the letter "F" while in the VIEW mode of Compu-Chef. Answer all the questions every time you access this utility. If configuration is called by mistake, and you are happy with your current terminal and pathname configuration, then simply press the Escape (Esc) key. d. If you really get the configuration out-of-whack while playing with it, we recommend that you re-INSTALL Compu-Chef from the production diskette sent to you (and hopefully backed-up). Re-INSTALLation does not overwrite new recipes that you've added. It will overwrite updated recipes if you respond "Y" to the overwrite question when LHarc ((c) Yoshizaki) is unarchiving the original recipes. 12. Nutrition data for every Compu-Chef recipe for calories, carbohydrates, calcium, fats, sodium, and protein is available instantly in the VIEW mode by pressing the letter "N". If you see the "CALORIE ALERT" flasher at the bottom of a recipe screen, you will find that the recipe contains more than 500 calories for each individual serving. All nutrition data is computed for the total recipe and for each individual serving of the recipe. Nutrition data is stored in the recipe data base for all recipes added (or updated) using the Compu-Chef Recipe File Format. Press the letter "N" again and you will return to the recipe VIEW mode (toggle). 13. Recipe and function print capability is achieved in two ways. We recommend that you print your recipes using Alt-P as this will print the recipe on a single page in a standard recipe format. You may use Ctrl-P to print the single recipe pages if no function or help screens are in VIEW. Ctrl-P prints whatever is on the screen but is only active in the VIEW mode and during the EDIT Help and Measures Definition Help functions of the Add / Update modes. Page # 11 14. The Supplemental and Notational "Pop-Up" screen is available by pressing the letter "S". When used, these screens contain useful information that is related to the recipe, but not a legitimate part of a recipe that you might want to print. Return to the VIEW mode by again pressing the letter "S". The Add / Update modes allow for you to enter data for this facility as a normal part of entering a new recipe (or updating an old recipe). 15. The Help Screen (illustrated in para. 8 in part) is available by pressing the letter "H". Press the letter "H" again and you will return to the VIEW mode. 16. A handy cooking weights and measures table is seen by pressing the letter "M". When you are finished viewing this table, press the letter "M" again to toggle back to the VIEW mode. 17. The recipe quantity conversion facility is accessed by pressing the letter "X". You will be asked for a new NUMBER SERVED. Input the number and receive a recomputation of quantities for each ingredient. This function does not toggle. Press the ESCAPE (Esc) key to exit the function and you will receive the Compu-Chef Main Menu. NOTE: Recipe amounts are stated in 1/8 (or greater) measures. If you take a recipe that serves 6, convert it to serve 20, and then convert it again to serve 2 - you would not want to trust the quantities for the ingredients after the first conversion. We have elected to start you over so that the original recipe base line (established by Grandma) will be used for all conversion computations. 18. The Table of Recommended Weights for Men and Women can be obtained by pressing the letter "W". Return to the VIEW function by pressing the letter "W" again. This table is also available during the main menu # 5 (Daily Weight Charts). 19. You will receive a pop-up Shopping List if you press the letter "L" while viewing a recipe. You may add to this the Shopping List and use the Ctrl-F function to "file" it. Ctrl-P will print the Shopping List. To start over entering new items for the list, press Ctrl-E (erase). Ctrl-Y deletes the item at the cursor position and moves all items after the item deleted down. Alt - + causes a blank to be inserted at the cursor position and all items after the insert will move up. 20. A notepad for daily planning needs is available by pressing the letter "D" in the Recipe VIEW function. Make any notes that you desire, add to the notes already entered, erase the notepad and start over, save the notes, or print the notes. This feature is quite useful for making notes that are applicable to meal planning ... or for just jotting down ideas. Page # 12 2-2. ADDING RECIPES The following instructions are a step-by-step guide for creating your own recipe using the facilities of the Compu-Chef system. 1. Access the Compu-Chef sub-directory (path) by typing: CD\COMPCHEF 2. Run the program by typing: COOKMENU ... or ... COOKMENU A NOTE: If you use the command "A" you will skip both the Compu-Chef logo and the Main Menu. Move to Step # 5 3. You will receive the Compu-Chef logo. Press the <Enter> key (or any key) to receive the Main Menu. 4. Press the number 2 when the Main Menu is received. (You may also use the up and down arrow keys or the approriate command line letters for selections from the Main Menu.) The ESC and CTRL-Q functions will return you to the SYSTEM from the Main Menu. ALT-Q will refresh the Main Menu screen. 5. You will receive the QUALIFYING RECIPE FILES Screen for that category. This directory is alphabetic (based on the title of the recipe) and is accessed by using the up/down arrow keys, page up/down, home, and end keys. There are five (5) total screens available each containing a maximum of 20 alphabetically listed recipe titles for a total of 100 recipes for 26 categories (2,600 possible). ESC returns you to the Categores Available Screen. ALT-Q returns you to the Main Menu. CTRL-Q returns you to the SYSTEM. 6. The system will automatically assign the file name to the new file. All you will ever have to know is the title that you give the recipe on Screen # 1 of the ADD function (See below). The recipe titles are always listed in alphabetic order for your convenience in selection. 7. You will now receive the 1st of 5 RECIPE Add/Update screens. a. Screen # 1 allows you to put in administrative data including: (1) The title of your RECIPE, (2) A sub-title (or comments, classification, etc.), (3) The oven temperature (or spaces if not applicable), and (4) The number of persons served by the recipe. Page # 13 b. At the end of Screen # 1 you are asked if you wish to make changes. If you have made input errors, answer "Y" and re-type those items needing correction. c. If you answer "N" to changes, you will receive Screen # 2. 8. Screen # 2 (List of Ingredients) is the heart of Compu-Chef. a. Screen # 2 has a help facility available by typing ALT-H. Refer to this help screen frequently until you are familiar with the edit options and cursor control features used to input, edit, and accept the recipe data in the form needed for the application to compute and store the nutrition information. b. The following is how a list of ingredients might appear from your own recipe: 3 slices bacon 1 1/2 cups packaged herb-seasoned stuffing mix 6 thin veal steaks, pounded 1/8 inch thick 1 tabelspoon salad oil 2 10-ounce packages frozen broccoli spears, thawed 1 chicken bouillon cube 1/2 cup boiling water 1 10 1/2-ounce can condensed cream of mushroom soup 1/3 cup milk 1 4 1/2- or 5-ounce can shrimp, drained Now, here is how Compu-Chef wants to see the same list of ingredients: 3, oz, bacon, (or 3 slices) 1 1/2, cups, stuffing mix, packaged, herb-seasoned 18, oz, veal, (6 thin steaks - pounded 1/8 inch thick) 1, T., salad oil 20, oz, brocolli, (in 2 10-ounce packages, thawed) 1, oz, bouillon, (1 cube of chicken bouillon) 1/2, cup, water, boiling 10.5, oz, cream of mushroom soup, (10 1/2-ounce can, condensed) 1/3, cup, milk 5, oz, shrimp, drained (may also use a 4 1/2-ounce can) Page # 14 c. As you can see, Compu-Chef uses the nonmenclature method of assigning standard values to recipe ingredients so that (1) the quantity can be identified as the first characters appearing before the 1st comma, (2) the measure can be identified without having to store 10 gazillion different non-standard measures. Also, measures must be given to a computer - an entry like 6 thin veal steaks means nothing to Compu-Chef because there is no way to tell how much the steaks weigh and therefore, the program cannot compute the nutritional value. The measure is always identified as between the 1st and 2nd commas. (3) the ingredient will be looked up from the data base. The ingredient must appear as the only entry on the line after the second comma, or as the characters located between the 2nd and 3rd commas. 1/2, cup, butter ... and ... 1/2, cup, butter, softened at room temperature are both acceptable, whereas ... 1/2, cup, butter softened at room temperature will identify the ingredient as ... "BUTTER SOFTENED AT ROOM TEMPERATURE" which is not good as "BUTTER" is readily identified and "BUTTER SOFTENED AT ROOM TEMPERATURE" will cause the program to ask you for more data (Replace, Substitute, or Process Without Data). 9. When you are finished entering the List of Ingredients on Screen # 2, press the "Escape" (Esc) key to start the edit of Screen # 2. Page # 15 10. If Compu-Chef does not understand a quantity or a measure, a highlighted comment will appear immediately below the line being questioned. You must change this line to a form acceptable to the program. Check your comma placement. Check the quantity. Check the measure. When you have corrected the entry, press the Escape key again for a re-edit. 11. Compu-Chef will now look up all of the ingredients and compute the nutritional values for the recipe and for the individual servings of the recipe. Compu-Chef will display an information screen for all items successfully computed. Press any key to continue the edit of ingredients. 12. Compu-Chef will display the "NOT FOUND IN THE DATA BASE" screen for any ingredient that it cannot identify exactly. You have three choices at this point: a. Select "R" (replace) and the program will ask for a replacement ingredient. Enter the ingredient and press <Enter>. (1) If identified, you will receive information about the next ingredient in your list. (2) If the replacement value is not identified, Compu-Chef will ask you to again choose "R", "S", or "P". b. Select "S (substitute) and the program will ask for any group of characters. Enter the group of characters and press <Enter>. (1) If the characters you typed in match any part of an ingredient listed in the data base, that ingredient along with its record number will be displayed. (2) If the substitution value is not identified, Compu-Chef will ask you to again choose "R", "S", or "P". Page # 16 (3) If one or more ingredients are found to match the characters that you asked the program to look for, you will then be asked to enter the record number, "T" for try again (when you don't want to choose any of the ingredients displayed and wish to make another search attempt), or "N" if you think that Compu-Chef does not contain an ingredient close enough to the one in your recipe. (4) In almost all cases, you will identify an ingredient that is the same (with a different name), or so close that any differences for nutritional value will be insignificant. 13. When the last ingredient has been successfully edited, and computed, by Compu-Chef, you will receive Screen # 3 (Preparation Instructions). 14. You may enter your preparation instructions in any form that you see fit. Compu-Chef makes no decisions or computations based on the data entered in Screen # 3. Do not exceed 22 lines of preparation instructions. 15. When you are finished with Screen # 3, press the Escape key and you will receive Screen # 4 (Preparation Instructions - 2). If you have completed all instructions needed for your recipe, simply accept this screen as blank by pressing the Escape key. If the recipe is very long, and you need the additional space to add more preparation instructions, type the continuation of those instructions here. When you have entered all instructions, press the Escape key to receive Screen # 5 (Supplemental Instructions for the 'POP-UP' Screen). 16. Supplemental instructions entered here will 'pop-up' in the Compu-Chef RECIPE View Function when the letter "S" is pressed. If you recipe does not need supplemental instructions, simply press the Escape key to accept this screen. 17. Press the Escape key again at Screen # 5 to exit the ADD/UPDATE program and return to the Compu-Chef Main Menu. 18. Upon receiving the Main Menu you may choose to: VIEW, ADD, UPDATE, DELETE, UPDATE and VIEW WEIGHT CHARTS, or PRINT this Manual. Pressing Escape will cause the program to terminate if chosen at the Main Menu. Page # 17 2-3. UPDATING RECIPES The following instructions are a step-by-step guide for changing recipes.

If you answer "N" to changes, you will receive Screen # 2. 8. Screen # 2 (List of Ingredients) is the heart of Compu-Chef. a. Screen # 2 has a help facility available by typing ALT-H. Refer to this help screen frequently until you are familiar with the edit options and cursor control features used to input, edit, and accept the recipe data in the form needed for the application to compute and store the nutrition information. b. The following is how a list of ingredients might appear from your own recipe: 3 slices bacon 1 1/2 cups packaged herb-seasoned stuffing mix 6 thin veal steaks, pounded 1/8 inch thick 1 tabelspoon salad oil 2 10-ounce packages frozen broccoli spears, thawed 1 chicken bouillon cube 1/2 cup boiling water 1 10 1/2-ounce can condensed cream of mushroom soup 1/3 cup milk 1 4 1/2- or 5-ounce can shrimp, drained Now, here is how Compu-Chef wants to see the same list of ingredients: 3, oz, bacon, (or 3 slices) 1 1/2, cups, stuffing mix, packaged, herb-seasoned 18, oz, veal, (6 thin steaks - pounded 1/8 inch thick) 1, T., salad oil 20, oz, brocolli, (in 2 10-ounce packages, thawed) 1, oz, bouillon, (1 cube of chicken bouillon) 1/2, cup, water, boiling 10.5, oz, cream of mushroom soup, (10 1/2-ounce can, condensed) 1/3, cup, milk 5, oz, shrimp, drained (may also use a 4 1/2-ounce can) Page # 19 c. As you can see, Compu-Chef uses the nonmenclature method of assigning standard values to recipe ingredients so that (1) the quantity can be identified as the first characters appearing before the 1st comma, (2) the measure can be identified without having to store 10 gazillion different non-standard measures. Also, measures must be given to a computer - an entry like 6 thin veal steaks means nothing to Compu-Chef because there is no way to tell how much the steaks weigh and therefore, the program cannot compute the nutritional value. The measure is always identified as between the 1st and 2nd commas. (3) the ingredient will be looked up from the data base. The ingredient must appear as the only entry on the line after the second comma, or as the characters located between the 2nd and 3rd commas. 1/2, cup, butter ... and ... 1/2, cup, butter, softened at room temperature are both acceptable, whereas ... 1/2, cup, butter softened at room temperature will identify the ingredient as ... "BUTTER SOFTENED AT ROOM TEMPERATURE" which is not good as "BUTTER" is readily identified and "BUTTER SOFTENED AT ROOM TEMPERATURE" will cause the program to ask you for more data (Replace, Substitute, or Process Without Data). 9. When you are finished entering the List of Ingredients on Screen # 2, press the "Escape" (Esc) key to start the edit of Screen # 2. Page # 20 10. If Compu-Chef does not understand a quantity or a measure, a highlighted comment will appear immediately below the line being questioned. You must change this line to a form acceptable to the program. Check your comma placement. Check the quantity. Check the measure. When you have corrected the entry, press the Escape key again for a re-edit. 11. Compu-Chef will now look up all of the ingredients and compute the nutritional values for the recipe and for the individual servings of the recipe. Compu-Chef will display an information screen for all items successfully computed. Press any key to continue the edit of ingredients. 12. Compu-Chef will display the "NOT FOUND IN THE DATA BASE" screen for any ingredient that it cannot identify exactly. You have three choices at this point: a. Select "R" (replace) and the program will ask for a replacement ingredient. Enter the ingredient and press <Enter>. (1) If identified, you will receive information about the next ingredient in your list. (2) If the replacement value is not identified, Compu-Chef will ask you to again choose "R", "S", or "P". b. Select "S (substitute) and the program will ask for any group of characters. Enter the group of characters and press <Enter>. (1) If the characters you typed in match any part of an ingredient listed in the data base, that ingredient along with its record number will be displayed. (2) If the substitution value is not identified, Compu-Chef will ask you to again choose "R", "S", or "P". Page # 21 (3) If one or more ingredients are found to match the characters that you asked the program to look for, you will then be asked to enter the record number, "T" for try again (when you don't want to choose any of the ingredients displayed and wish to make another search attempt), or "N" if you think that Compu-Chef does not contain an ingredient close enough to the one in your recipe. (4) In almost all cases, you will identify an ingredient that is the same (with a different name), or so close that any differences for nutritional value will be insignificant. 13. When the last ingredient has been successfully edited, and computed, by Compu-Chef, you will receive Screen # 3 (Preparation Instructions). 14. You may enter your preparation instructions in any form that you see fit. Compu-Chef makes no decisions or computations based on the data entered in Screen # 3. Do not exceed 22 lines of preparation instructions. 15. When you are finished with Screen # 3, press the Escape key and you will receive Screen # 4 (Preparation Instructions - 2). If you have completed all instructions needed for your recipe, simply accept this screen as blank by pressing the Escape key. If the recipe is very long, and you need the additional space to add more preparation instructions, type the continuation of those instructions here. When you have entered all instructions, press the Escape key to receive Screen # 5 (Supplemental Instructions for the 'POP-UP' Screen). 16. Supplemental instructions entered here will 'pop-up' in the Compu-Chef RECIPE View Function when the letter "S" is pressed. If you recipe does not need supplemental instructions, simply press the Escape key to accept this screen. 17. Press the Escape key again at Screen # 5 to exit the ADD/UPDATE program and return to the Compu-Chef Main Menu. 18. Upon receiving the Main Menu you may choose to: VIEW, ADD, UPDATE, DELETE, UPDATE and VIEW WEIGHT CHARTS, or PRINT this Manual. Pressing Escape will cause the program to terminate if chosen at the Main Menu. Page # 22 2-4.

You will now receive the Daily Weight Charts screen which looks like this: -------------------------------------------------------- | Daily Weight Charts | | | | Do you wish to view the Weight Chart (Y/N): | | | | Please type your First Name : | | | | Please type your desired weight in Pounds : | | | | What is your weight today : | | | -------------------------------------------------------- a. The questions will appear one at a time. Answer all of them. b. The first question ask if you wish to view the chart of weights for men and women. This chart is also available in the Recipe VIEW function and is provided here so that you can brace yourself before you have look at what you actually weigh. The Daily Weight Chart function will continue even if you answer "N" (no) to this question. Page # 24 c. The second question gets your first name to determine which 60-day file will be retrieved to make the daily weight computations for the chart. If another family member has the same first name, use a variation of the name or a number after the first name to establish and maintain a separate chart. d. The third question allows you to change your mind every day about your weight goals. The chart presented will be adjusted accordingly. 6. You will now receive your customized weight chart which can contain as much a 60 days of weight data. This chart will build as you use it. We recommend that you only add a new weight once each day, as multiple accesses will cause the chart to build - with each new entry counted as a day of weight charting. NOTE: If you wish to view your accumulated weight statistics without incrementing the chart, type "VIEW" (or the letter "V") as the answer to the question "WHAT IS YOUR WEIGHT TODAY". NOTE: If you are starting a new chart, your first entry will cause only 1 line to appear when the chart is displayed for the first time. Remember, 1 day equals 1 bar ... 60 days (the max) equals 60 bars. Starting with the 61st day, only the last 60 days are graphically represented. For a DEMO of a 55 day weight chart, specify 'LARRY4' in answer to the question 'Please Type Your First Name:' and a file with 55 days of data will be displayed. 7. Press any key when viewing the Daily Weight Chart to return to the Compu-Chef Main Menu. 8. Upon receiving the Main Menu you may choose to: VIEW, ADD, UPDATE, DELETE, UPDATE and VIEW WEIGHT CHARTS, or PRINT this Manual. Pressing Escape will cause the program to terminate if chosen at the Main Menu. Page # 25 2-6. PRINT COMPU-CHEF MANUAL !!!! TURN YOUR PRINTER ON NOW !!!!

Page # 26 2-6. RECIPE SEARCH FUNCTION The following instructions are a step-by-step guide for using the search functions of Compu-Chef. 1. Access the Compu-Chef sub-directory (path) by typing: CD\COMPCHEF 2. Run the program by typing: COOKMENU ... or ... COOKMENU S NOTE: If you use the command "S" you will skip both the Compu-Chef logo and the Main Menu. Move to Step # 5 3. You will receive the Compu-Chef logo. Press the <Enter> key (or any key) to receive the Main Menu. 4. Press the number 7 when the Main Menu is received. (You may also use the up and down arrow keys or the approriate command line letters for selections from the Main Menu.) The ESC and CTRL-Q functions will return you to the SYSTEM from the Main Menu. ALT-Q will refresh the Main Menu screen. 5. You will receive a series of selection criteria screens. These screens will ask you to make choices relating to the selection for view of qualifying recipes. 6. The first screen received determines whether you will search the data base on the basis of nutrition qualifiers or by ingredient qualifiers. Answer 'N' if you wish to search by nutrition (i.e., calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, and/or sodium). Pressing the <Esc> key will cause the program to terminate. SEARCHING BY NUTRITION: 7. If you pressed the 'N' key, you will be asked to choose one (or more) nutrition codes. The codes are: Calories ................. C Protein .................. P Fat ...................... F Carbohydrates ............ R Calcium .................. L Sodium (Salt) ............ S Example: If you type in 'LPC' in response, you have qualified Calories, Protein, and Calcium. Page # 27 8. Next, you will be asked to type in 'relational operators'. Sounds pretty technical, huh? Well, it's not to bad as there are only three possible in Compu-Chef and they are: < ... (Shift/Comma on the keyboard) ... represents LESS THAN, > ... (Shift/Period on the keyboard) ... represents MORE THAN, B ...................represents BETWEEN (or a range of values). Example: Let's say that you are looking for calories less than 300 per serving with a protein count of greater than 30 grams, and sodium levels between 200 and 600 milligrams: a. You would have chosen CPS on the previous screen to qualify calories, protein, and sodium, then b. You would select '<' at the prompt: Choose a relational value for Calories ... c. You would select '>' at the prompt: Choose a relational value for Protein and ... d. You would select 'B' at the prompt: Choose a relational value for Sodium. 9. Now you will receive screens to accept the actual values for the relationships that you've just chosen. Type in the correct numbers at the prompts. Example (continued from para 8): b. You would type '300' at the prompt: Accept a relational value for Calories ... c. You would type '30' at the prompt: Accept a relational value for Protein and ... d. You would type '200' then '600' prompt: Choose a relational value for Sodium. !!! CONTINUE AT PARAGRAPH 13 !!! Page # 28 SEARCHING BY INGREDIENT 10. If you pressed the "I" key in your selection of type of look-up, you will now receive the screen with the prompt: 'Select Ingredient or Press <ENTER> Below:' 11. The prompt "Ingredient #1: ?" will appear. You will either type in the name of an ingredient that you wish to locate or press the <ENTER> key. You will receive prompts for 5 ingredients. From 1 to 5 ingredients may be selected. 12. IMPORTANT! If you choose (for instance) bread, sugar, and water; only those recipes that contain bread AND sugar AND water will display! This is simplistic but should suffice for the types of look-ups needed for indentifying recipes based on certain ingredients available in your pantry. 13. Having entered the last value in your selection list, the program will clear the screen and give you the message "Compiling List of Compu-Chef Recipes". This message will display for approximately 10 seconds for each 100 Compu-Chef recipes on file. 14. Next, the informational display "Surveying File: (filename)" will display (very rapidly) until Compu-Chef finds a recipe that meets the criteria that you have established. When a recipe fully qualifies, that recipe is displayed using the Compu-Chef Main Menu function # 1 (VIEW Recipes). All facilities available to the VIEW function are available. 15. You may continue your search while viewing a qualified recipe by pressing the CTRL-Q keys. You will then be given the opportunity of discontinuing the search process by answering 'N' to the question: "Continue Y/N?". If any other key is pressed, the search will continue to find, and display, qualifying recipes. Page # 29 3-1. NON-MENU FUNCTIONS OF COMPU-CHEF 1. After a while you may get tired of seeing the beautiful Compu- Chef LOGO (although we never do!); if so, you can access all the menu functions and non-menu functions by typing the following from the command line: COOKMENU V ... accesses the recipe VIEW function COOKMENU A ... accesses the recipe ADD function COOKMENU U ... accesses the recipe UPDATE function COOKMENU D ... accesses the recipe DELETE function COOKMENU W ... accesses the DAILY WEIGHT CHARTS function COOKMENU M ... accesses the PRINT MANUAL function COOKMENU S ... accesses the recipe SEARCH function COOKMENU X ... accesses the VERSION / COPYRIGHT function COOKMENU F ... accesses the CONFIGURATION function COOKMENU [drv:][pathname.ext] ... INSTANT access to recipes 2. All of the command line access features are fully explained in the main body of the manual with the exception of 'M', 'X', 'F', and the INSTANT VIEW features. An explanation of these features follows: 3. COOKMENU M ... Begins printing the manual on your printer directly from the command line. Make sure the printer is on-line and has paper loaded. 4. COOKMENU X ... Tells you the version number, the authors of the application, serves as notice of copyright, and gives you your registration number. If you have the ShareWare version the registration number is always 500000000. 5. COOKMENU F ... Goes directly to the configuration of your recipe files and this disk manual. These files need not be configured for 700k floppy and hard disk users, but may be if desired (optional). If you can't find your recipes, use this function and tell Compu-Chef where you've put them. 6. COOKMENU [drv:][pathname.ext] ... Is direct access to your favorite recipes. There is a catch. You have to know the file name of the recipe to access it directly. We've tried to use the six-characters available to indicate what the recipe is and you should do the same when you add your own. Page # 30 4-1. NEW FEATURES 1. Here is some extra help for anyone having difficulty using the Compu-Chef ADD or UPDATE functions. Extra HELP screens are available while you are accessing pages 2 through 5 of the ADD and UPDATE functions. These HELP screens are especially useful while editing page # 2 of the ADD or UPDATE functions (the List of Ingredients screen). 2. If you get stuck, the first HELP screen to call for is the "HELP Available" HELP screen. You can see this screen by pressing <ENTER> then <ALT>"H". 3. The "HELP Available" HELP screen tells you how to access the "Using the Keyboard" HELP screen, the "Measures" HELP screen, and the "Edit Functions" HELP screen. 4. Use these HELP screens as "keys" to understanding what the program needs during the critical input phase of your ingredients list. 5. Also NEW is a feature that I call DIRECT ACCESS TO NUTRITION DATA. This function is available to individuals that want to use the nutrition look-up and computation facilities of Compu-Chef in a direct manner. The following is a detailed explanation of how this is done: a. Exit Compu-Chef. b. Ensure that you are in the \COMPCHEF\ sub-directory. c. Type ... COOKUPDT !{quantity,measure,ingredient} (1) Do NOT type in the "{" or "}" symbols. (2) "quantity" is a number or number plus fraction. (3) "measure" is a cooking measurement. (4) "ingredient" is the name of the ingredient for which nutrition information is desired. (5) Example: COOKUPDT !1,CUP,SUGAR <ENTER> (6) The above example will yield the nutrition data for 1 cup of sugar. Page # 31 4-2. Facility to "lock out" ADD, UPDATE, and DELETE Functions. 1. Let's suppose that you are concerned that someone may add, update, or delete recipes that you have collected using the Compu-Chef data base functions. Provided as a new feature in Version 1991.3 is a lock out feature that disables access to Add, Update, and Delete. 2. You enable the lock-out using the following sequence: a. Run "Compu-Chef" for configuration ... C: CD\COMPCHEF COOKMENU CONFIG b. Using the arrow keys (or Enter), place the cursor on the line of the displayed configuration file that says "PASSWORD" (line # 6). c. Type over "PASSWORD" any other word (case is not important). d. Press the escape key (Esc) to save and exit. e. When you run Compu-Chef again, you will not be able to access the Add, Update, or Delete functions of the Main Menu. 3. If the lock-out is enabled, you may disable the lock-out by reinserting the work "PASSWORD" in line # 6 of the configuation file. This is accomplished using the following procedure ... a. Run "Compu-Chef" for configuration ... C: CD\COMPCHEF COOKMENU CONFIG b. Using the arrow keys (or Enter), place the cursor on line # 6 of the configuration file. c. Type over the word that you find there with the word "PASSWORD" (no quotes, i.e. type PASSWORD). d. Press the escape key (Esc) to save and exit. e. When you run Compu-Chef again, you will be able to access the Add, Update, or Delete functions of the Main Menu. Page # 32 4-3. Use of Compu-Chef as a BBS "door" (distributed processing using a BBS file server). 1. We authorize the use of a single (registered) copy of Compu- Chef on bulletin boards that feature cooking and nutrition IF the following conditions are met: a. Alter line # 6 of the configuration file (see procedure at 4-2 above) so that the word "PASSWORD" does not appear. b. No site license is implied to use the Add, Update, and Delete functions of Compu-Chef by persons not registering an individual copy of Compu-Chef by payment of $29.95 to DB Software. 2. We allow the use, transfer, and trading of any recipes created using Compu-Chef. Your recipes are your own. The recipes provided with the Shareware and registered copies of Compu-Chef are not copyrighted. We encourage you to plan and establish clubs and organizations that freely trade the recipe and nutrition information made available by our cookbook/nutrition system. 3. We do not encourage, or allow, any unregistered user to violate our copyright to this system by using Compu-Chef more than 30 days without payment of the registration fee of $29.95. 4. The use of Compu-Chef in a BBS interactive environment that allows the use of the lockable Add, Update, and Delete functions is a violation of our copyright and authority to license. Full use of a registered version to unregistered users (outside of immediate family) is the same as giving away our work in any other fashion. BBS operators are responsible to DB Software, Inc. for the use of this soft- ware even if you have paid for one registered copy and even if you charge nothing for using Compu-Chef. 5. We require that any person reviewing Compu-Chef use the Shareware version available from many disk distributers. Page # 33 4-4. Use of Compu-Chef as a Cook Book ONLY. 1. Compu-Chef can be minimized to be a cook book only for the recipes that you add. If you have no desire to obtain the nutrition data for your recipes and / or you find that typing in commas between the quantity, measure, ingredient is to onerous a procedure to make the product useful, then you may take the following actions to disable the nutrition computa- tions aspect: --- TO DISABLE NUTRITION COMPUTATIONS --- 2. Access the configuration mode of Compu-Chef by pressing the letter "F" while viewing any recipe. Use the arrow keys to position the cursor immediately beneath the "P" in PASSWORD on line 6 of the configuration file. Type over PASSWORD using the literal NOCOMPUTE.
