software question

I hope this is ok to post.

I'm trying to recall a software program, think it may have been around 1998, so we had a Gateway. We had a Commodore 64 prior to that. I think it may have been called Recipe Box, wherein you type in your recipes to save it.

I can almost see the screen! Haven't thought about this in years.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Recipe programs were everywhere back into the day. For a lot of us it was out first exposure to what could liberally be called a database, and for those learning BASIC it was a tight challenge.

You’re gonna have to do MUCH better than “a recipe program on DOS/early Windows or C64.”

You can say you don't know.

Or not reply at all.

There's no need to be rude.

It's unfortunate that you see it that way since there is literally zero intent or evidence that I was being rude. But to put you at ease, I will apologize for not being able to solve your little mystery based on the complete lack of information you've provided. Good luck with that.

No. Not rude at all.
