I don't know that it (or Meal Master) does that. I certainly do not want all 
the recipes posted in Home Cooking, Cooking, or any of the other (if they 
still exist) foodie echoes. And not all of the recipes that I find interesting 
or savable are in MM format. Some are free form, some are in Master Cook 
format, etc. Nearly all the the recipes that I keep require massaging of one 
form or another --- if only to hammer them into a form that follows *my* 
conventions.

My problem with that is that the conversion program that I use (MMConv) will 
not work under dosBOX on Windows versions from 7 thru 10 (dunno about Vista as 
I never bothered with that (obscene) joke). So, until I get a virtual 
iteration of XP going - either by using Oracle's VMware Virtual Box or by 
upgrading to W10 Pro which has a Virtual Box built in.

For now I will maintain an XP hardware presence and network my files over 
there to be massaged and whipped into shape ..... also to play the occasional 
game of Railroad Tycoon which breaks on anything later than XP.

I will forward this reply to International Cooking Echo to see if anyone else 
wants to jump in with advice or suggestions.
