Here are some of the things than I'm working on for
MicroCook v.2.0. This version should be done sometimes this
summer. 
     The registration fee for version 2.0 will probably go up
some, so if you register v.1.5 now, you will get version 2.0 
FREE in the mail when released. 
  
* Increase database capacity to about 300,000 recipes per
  database, AND you can still have as many different databases as
  you want.
* Multiple small index files per database. Like one index for
  each category. Also can create new index from a search, or from
  a new import. 
* Separate input fields in Ingredients for Quantity, Measurement
  type and Ingredient.
* Automatic re-calculation of Quantity when number of servings
  changes.
* Choice of Quantity in fractions or decimal.
* Customizing colors for backgrounds, menus, windows, etc.
* 25 or 50 line screen mode if VGA monitor.
* New name for Servings with 5 character descriptive field
  (Yield?). This so CUPS, SERV, CAKES, DOZEN can be used to
  describe the amount the recipe yield.
* Pop-up Metric/English measurement converter calculator.
* Pop-up Fahrenheit to/from Celsius calculator/converter.
* Move recipes between databases/indexes. When moved, delete from
  parent database. Same as Export with deletion.
* Copy recipes between databases/indexes. When copied, keep both 
  old and new copy.
* Create Temporary database/index during Imports for recipes that
  need some work or recipes that's reported as duplicate, but
  might not be.
* Redirect Imported recipes to other than loaded database/Index.
  This is so if you have separate databases for different ethnic
  food, you will be able to direct them to the correct database
  if you found a Chinese recipes together with all the Italian. 
* Create new database/index from search.
* More descriptive search. Which fields, etc.
* Split window to compare duplicates during Import. This to see
  if it's a real duplicate, or only one with the same name.
* Print to 3x5" and/or 4x6" index cards. Print in condensed or
  normal print. Pause after each side so card can be turned over,
  or cont. on next card.
* Input field for nutrition (fat, calories, etc.).
* Input field for source/author of recipe.
* Import for QBOOK, CompuChef and other formats (which one do you
  want to see? (I need sample ASCII or database files, and if
  possible, a description of file format)). 
* List of standard categories for easy and "standardized"
  categories throughout the databases. Can be edited by user.
  Pick from list in pop-up window. 
* Use of Overlays in MCOOK.EXE file for more memory available for
  Index/recipes and SHELL to DOS. Will also load overlays in EMS
  or XMS memory if available.

Should you have any ideas or comments regarding version 2.0,

MICROCOOK BETTER!
