We have added plain text copies of the recipes in the Bread Bakers archive.
Here is an excerpt from the 00index.txt file in the recipe directory:
This is an archive of the recipes that have been posted to the
bread-bakers and daily-bread mailing lists. The recipe files
are available as text or in native MasterCook format.
The files are contained in three subdirectories: "mc-zip", "text"
and "text-zip". The files in the "text" directory may be viewed
directly with a web browser, without downloading and unzipping.
WEB-TV users can access these.
The recipes are available as plain text in MasterCook Export format.
This format can be read by MasterCook and many other recipe programs.
The recipes are also available in native MasterCook format.
You must have MasterCook version 3 (or later) to use these files.
There is an index file containing recipe titles for each recipe file.
These index files are not zipped.
Directory "mc-zip" contains the native MasterCook format files
(".mcf" files) in compressed form and the uncompressed index files.
Directory "text" contains the recipes as text files in MasterCook
export ("mxp") format and the index files. All these files are
uncompressed and file length is limited to 100k bytes. These may be
viewed directly with a web browser. WEB-TV users and anyone that
cannot unzip files should use these.
Directory "text-zip" contains the recipes as compressed text files in
MasterCook export ("mxp") format and the uncompressed index files.
These files are larger than those in the "text" directory. If you
want to download many recipes and can work with zipped files, you
should use these.
The zip files must be un-zipped before use. Suitable programs for
un-zipping are pkunzip (DOS), WinZip (Windows), Stuffit (Mac), and
unzip (unix).
