------------------------------------------------------------- " THE CHEF'S SOURCE " ------------------------------------------------------------- JD GOURMET RESEARCH P.O. BOX 15591 PITTSBURGH, PA 15244 COPYRIGHT 1995 THANK YOU FOR TRYING THIS PROGRAM. Why am I offering "The Chef's Source" as shareware? For two reasons actually. Number one is that I truly believe that the majority of you are honest, especially those who enjoy trying out these types of programs. Most people realize the hundreds of hours it takes to develop a computer program and are quite willing to reimburse the author for his hard work. The second reason is because I wanted to get this information into your hands the cheapest way possible. I enjoy sharing with you all the many excellent gourmet suppliers I've discovered across the nation and erge you to give those of interest a try. I appreciate the letters of thanks I've received from so many who have discovered something they've considered really outstanding and have written to tell me. It's always nice hearing from you! Unlike some computer programs my work with "The Chef's Source" is never done. I am constantly researching new suppliers and updating the program itself in order to provide you with an ever expanding list of options to choose from. Not only for your own culinary enjoyment but as ideas for gifts as well. A gift of food is always welcome and with so many manufactures listed in "The Chef's Source" it's easy to make that gift really special, even more so if you know the recipient's personal tastes. What better way to impress family, friends, associates, employees or business contacts with your thoughtfullness? They'll think of you with each luscious bite or every time they use that cookbook or piece of equipment you personally picked out and presented them with! But don't forget about treating yourself as well either! Since this is only the shareware version, please, I erge you to register now! It's so inexpensive, will help me continue my work, and you'll get a much expanded version, one that contains numerous chapters not found in this edition. Naturally you can't purchase all your culinary needs through the mail and the registered version takes that into account. It provides a listings of major manufacturers that are eager to get you to try their products and will bend over backwards to see that you do, and to keep you as a customer. It shows you how to acquire the specific coupons for the products you normally buy on a regular basis. It instructs you on how to get the most out of those coupons and cut the cost of your weekly grocery bill to the bare bone. It also lists hundreds of companies offering free samples and recipes, worth hundreds of dollars for just about everything, including your kids and pets! So even if your budget is tight it can help you free up enough funds so that you can take advantage and try some of the wonderful, exceptional, outstanding products the suppliers listed in this program are anxious to introduce you to! You won't be disappointed by registering! Bon Appetit; JD Author of: "The Chef's Source" PS: Keep those letters coming! ________________________________________________________________________ INTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: If the disk you now have contains the file "JDGR.exe", then your copy of "THE CHEF'S SOURCE" is in compressed form. DO NOT type "JDGR" while logged onto the drive containing your original disk. That would cause the program to decompress the files onto your original diskette, which probably doesn't have enough free space to contain them all. Please follow the directions below. Decompressing this file is easily accomplished in one of two ways, depending on whether you want to run it from a floppy drive or a hard drive. ------------------------------------------------------------- HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION: To install the program onto your hard drive (C:) all you have to do is type the word "install" {enter}. The install program will automatically create a directory titled "TCS" on your hard drive. All program files will be decompressed into that directory. Upon completion your computer will log onto that directory. To start the program itself type "begin" {enter}. ------------------------------------------------------------- FLOPPY DRIVE INSTALLATION: Although it will not operate as quickly "THE CHEF'S SOURCE" can also be run from a floppy drive as well. Copy just the file "JDGR.exe" onto a high density diskette, then type "JDGR" {enter}. The files will decompress onto that disk. Once finished you may delete the "JDGR.exe" file as it will no longer be needed. To start the program itself type "begin" {enter}. ------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: When instructed to type in a word the quotation marks are only used to emphasize that word: do not actually type them as well. ALSO: {enter} simply means to press the enter key on your keyboard. ------------------------------------------------------------- VOICE INSTRUCTIONS Once you've become familiar on how to operate the program you need not listen to the voice instructions if you desire not to. To skip through them press any key just as they start. Continue operation from there as you normally would. ------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE be sure to read the "Information on THE CHEF'S SOURCE" chapter under "Information" on the Selection Menu. ------------------------------------------------------------- THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORTING SHAREWARE!
