Upgrade from an old DOS Version
To import version 2.x or 3.x recipes you will first export them to a text file and then import into the new version.
| 1. | Start Recipe Box v3 with the following DOS command: | |
| rcpe_box export | ||
| Note: you must be in the folder as the program: rcpe_box.exe | ||
| 2. | Select Misc Stuff, Change Cookbook and select the cookbook to export. | |
| 3. | Select Misc Stuff, Soft Copy | |
| 4. | Enter a file name such as: | |
| A:recipe.txt | ||
| Note: Use the name of the cookbook such as chicken.txt | ||
| 5. | Select All Recipes and press carriage return to start the export. | |
| 6. | Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each cookbook. |
You should end up with one text file for each cookbook. Now you can import then into your new version of Recipe Box.
| 1. | Start Recipe Box v6.4 | |
| 2. | Create a new Cookbook for each of the respective old cookbooks. | |
| 3. | Import your recipes. |
