- PROGRAM INTENT
-
- The program CC-TO-QB.BAS is a conversion utility that can be
- used with the program FOOD20.BAS. The conversion program will
- take the file COMPCHEF that is produced by FOOD20.BAS and use it
- as input for CC-TO-QB.BAS and convert the COMPUCHEF Recipe files,
- to QuikBook format. The converted file will have the name CC-
- QBOUT. The file CC-QBOUT may then be used as input for the
- QuikBook Recipe program.
-
- PROGRAM FEATURES
-
- CC-TO-QB requires either BASIC.EXE or BASICA.COM in order
- for the program to function. To operate, execute Basica or Basic
- with the commands: BASIC/F:2 or BASICA/F:2 depending upon which
- basic you have. Load the CC-TO-QB program and type RUN enter. The
- conversion program looks for the file COMPCHEF that contains the
- recipes to be converted & creates an output file called CC-QBOUT.
-
- The first line of the input file that says
- ************** will be converted to -Begin Recipe Export-. The
- second line of the input file which is the name of the recipe
- or Title: will be converted to QuikBook format. The
- fifth line of input Categories: will be converted to
- Keywords: for QuikBook compatibility and the remaining lines
- of the recipe will be copied word for word to the output file
- until the program encounters the line that indicates the end of a
- CompuChef recipe. This line will be converted to -End Recipe
- Export-.
-
-
- PROGRAM NOTES
-
- This program is designed to replace the CompuChef Categories
- line: Categories: Fish Seafood Cajun
- with
- Keywords: Fish, Seafood, Cajun
-
- The earlier versions of CompuChef padded spaces after the
- last category was entered. Since this program has no way of
- knowing what version of CompuChef was originally used to export
- these recipes, you will find that some of the Keywords conversions
- will have a comma after the last category. Using the above
- example, if it had only two categories, it might be converted to:
- Keywords: Fish, Seafood, - then you will need to edit the file CC-
- QBOUT and correct the problem. This will not be a huge problem,
- because most of us will want to change the Keywords to our recipe
- filing system anyway. Another shortcoming of this conversion
- program is Categories entered as two words like:
-
- Categories: Red Sauce Red Gravy
-
- This would convert to Keywords: Red, Red,. Since the program
- keys on spaces and carriage returns there will be some categories
- that will not convert properly. These will be in the minority.
-
- I hope you enjoy using this program as much as I enjoyed the
- challenge of writing it. Watch for other conversion programs as
- time permits. The author can be reached via FidoNet 1:308/10
- Netmail or by calling Fast-Kode BBS on (505) 437-2280 or call my
- residence on voice (your nickel - no collect calls) on (505) 437-
- 4308.
