4/23/92 Recipes.tar.Z contains a Digital Librarianized version of the massive collection of recipes that can be found on many archives, including gatekeeper.dec.com. The semi-mystical recipe formatter (found in Recipes/.index/rcshow) is entirely the work of Brian Reid. If you want these recipes to display metric measurements instead, you can edit the rcshow script. The curious may also want to peek inside the .index directory; Digital Librarian is a cool thing, but it would be much cooler if the documented some of its features. These recipes come from a newsgroup called alt.gourmand, in which a moderator apparently translated recipes into the troff-ish format that you see in this archive. The moderator of rec.food.recipes, Andrew Mossberg (aem@mthvax.cs.miami.edu) has no idea where the group went, and neither do I. As far as I can tell, though, this clever style of formatting recipes is no longer used; if you know the story behind it, I'd appreciate it if you'd drop me (and Andrew) a line. Anyhow, I did all this mainly so I could find a particular chocolate- chip cookie recipe; now that I have, I'm gonna start baking.
