 AB> What is the most popular and supported by this echo Recipe
 AB> program and Database.  Could not find meal master, looks old.

Hi Alan

Meal Master IS old. It's a DOS program and won't run in Windows in
any version newer than XP.

It was THE recipe database back in the golden age of BBSing prior to
universal access to the internet. Back then USENET and the early
mail list users generally preferred the competing MasterCook
program, if they formatted recipes and stored them in databases at
all. This was not a big issue as the two programs recognized each
other and could import each others stuff.

In recent years a lot of people seem to like Windows based "Now
You're Cooking" and like most other recipe programs it recognises
Meal Master format which was the standard for so long.

I still use Meal Master myself being old school. It's freeware and
you can google places to download from, if you want to.

You can of course post free form recipes here and save stuff you
like in a text file and search it for key words when you want to
retrieve something.

Just to guide us ...

Is she doing the keto diet where she tries to keep her carbs under
20 grams per day?

And is she a true Celiac and so totally gluten free or just trying
to keep her gluten intake really low?

I'll start posting batches of relevant things here shortly.





Cheers

Jim
