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.
