We frequently get questions about how to access the bread-bakers archives.
The archives are located at:
<http://www.jeff-and-reggie.com/ftp/archives/bread/>
In this directory are copies of the info files for bread-bakers and
daily-bread and the copyright notice. There are several subdirectories
that contain the full text of bread-bakers digest and the recipes from both
bread-bakers and daily-bread. The digests and resource information is in
plain text and can be read with any internet browser or downloaded. The
recipes are available as plain text and also as compressed (zip format)
text and MasterCook format files. The compressed files need to be
downloaded and unzipped before use.
We hope this will help. Please write us at
<bread-bakers-owner@lists.best.com> or <daily-bread-owner@lists.best.com>
if you need further assistance.

Bread-bakers Archive Index
Recipe archive
--------------
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
Windows), and unzip (unix).
WinZip is available from <http://www.winzip.com/>.
WinZip is free for evaluation - there is a registration charge.
Stuffit Expander is available from <http://www.aladdinsys.com/>.
Stuffit Expander is free.
All the recipes since the beginning of the bread-bakers-digest
mailing list up to volume 96 number 42 (Sept 21, 1996) are contained
in one file.
Index file:
b3q96idx.txt - recipe titles
Text-zip format:
b3q96mxp.zip - recipes
MasterCook-zip format:
b3q96mcf.zip - recipes
After this time, recipes will be added quarterly. File names will
start with "b" followed by a one digit quarter number, "q", two digit
year and "idx", "mxp" or "mcf".
The filenames of the uncompressed files in the "text" directory are:
Recipe files:
b3q96-1.txt - recipes 3rd quarter 1996 part 1
...
b3q96-9.txt - recipes 3rd quarter 1996 part 9
b3q96-a.txt - recipes 3rd quarter 1996 part 10
...
b3q96-f.txt - recipes 3rd quarter 1996 part 15
Index files:
b3q96-1I.txt - recipe titles 3rd quarter 1996 part 1
...
b3q96-9I.txt - recipe titles 3rd quarter 1996 part 9
b3q96-aI.txt - recipe titles 3rd quarter 1996 part 10
...
b3q96-fI.txt - recipe titles 3rd quarter 1996 part 15
The names for the other files are similar in form to these.
