2146.0. "BOOK: Total COOKS Cookbook (bound)" by HEAT::WEINBERGER () Fri Dec 08 1989 18:47

    HI to everybody,
    
    I wanted to start a new note on the binded cookbook.  Anyone wishing to
    recieve a cookbook, please send me mail.  I will periodically post 
    status reports of the book and its completion.
    
    A few notes.
    
    This book will be close to 11,000 blocks of plain text. When compiled
    in Postscript or LN03 format it may take up to 25,000 blocks.  Printing
    this cookbook on company hardware would NOT be a good idea!  Thats why
    I opted to bind the book professionally.  There will be nine chapters,
    with some sub chapters in the book.  I am currently negoatiating with
    the cookbook binding company as to what we really need.
    
    For a cookbook this large, we may have to split the recipies into
    different volumes.  In order to actually get the book published I need
    at least 1,000 copies already spoken for.  Before we cna settle on a
    price, we need anidea of exactly how many recipies there are, and how
    many copies we need.
    
    The current total of requests is about 100-200 cookbooks.
    
    For a progress report :
    
    The cookbook now has 3693 recipies (when I go through the text multiple
    recipies are compiled in a single note).  
    
    The following format is being observed:
    
    	Chapter 1 - Appetizers  - This section is completed and awaiting
    				  review, collation (alphabtizing) and
    				  indexing.
    
    	Chapter 2 - Breads & Rolls - This section will be completed by
    				     Saturday.
    
    	Chapter 3 - Soups and Salads
    
    	Chapter 4 - Vegtables - split into different veggies dishes
    
    	Chapter 5 - Main Dishes - split into 
    		Beef
    		Turkey
    		Chicken
    		Lamb
    		Pork
    		Combinations
    
    	Chapter 6 - Jams and Jellies
    		    Pickles and Relishes
    
    	Chapter 7 - Desserts
    
    	Chapter 8 - Cakes and Cookies
    
    	Chapter 9 - Miscellaneous
    
    
    I need just 2-3 people for reviewing, (two many people and we will
    never get this done !!)  The review text will be VAX document compiled
    for LINE (terminal output).
    
    I wish to thank all those who have shown such enthusiasm for this
    project.  And I wish to thank those people who have complied the 
    previous cookbooks.  I believe I can integrate everything together.
    
    If someone would like to volunter to keep track of all the requets, I
    WOULD greatly appreciate it.
    
    One last note:
    
    	The reason I have said that re-selling this book would probably not
    be a good idea, is that a lot of the recipies have been copied from
    other sources wothout thier premission.  If we publish, and then sell
    these books we may have some legal problem.
    
    Again,
    
    Thanks,
    Keith

    It's here! It's here!
    
    The first version (all recipies prior to MAY 2,1990 from this file) are
    finally compiled.  Currently the only version is a postcript file.
    
    Just some statistics -
    
    	Table of Contents  - 93 pages
        Cookbook Postscript - 4,626 pages
        Compile Time - 41 hours
        Postscript file size - 29,079 blocks.
    
    The file is located in
    
    ZAPPP::dua1:[weinberger.tempc.complete]cookbook.ps
    
    Please copy this file after hours (so my system isn't tied up).
    
    I think I have discovered a method to create separate chapter files,
    but I am still working the problem.  When I have finished, I will move
    all the files to an open directory on this system.  Larry will also
    have a set of files for copying.
    
    Currenlty I am compiling a text version and an ln03 version.
    
    Note: ZAPPP is in a hidden area, its address is 62.140.
    
    Cheers,
    Keith
2146.85use SCAPASHEAT::WEINBERGERFri Dec 07 1990 14:0410
    Use SCAPAS for the pass through node, i.e.
    
    SCAPAS::ZAPPP::cookbook.file
    
    The LN03 version of the entire cookbook has been completed.  I am
    working on the individual chapters now.  They will be located in the
    same area as the postscript files.
    
    Happy holidays,
    Keith
2146.87New location for Cookbook filesIMTDEV::BRUNOFather GregoryTue Mar 15 1994 15:0851
     The cookbook files have a new home, and are as snug as a bug in a rug, 
or, in this case, as snug as a bug on node SMUG.  You may copy the files from:

          SMUG""::SMUG$DKA100:[BRUNO.COOKBOOK]

     As stated in the previous reply, the files are as follows:

I tried to copy using the following:

COPY SMUG""::SMUG$DKA100:[BRUNO.COOKBOOK]BEEF*.PS []

and got the following

%COPY-E-OPENIN, error opening SMUG""::SMUG$DKA100:[BRUNO.COOKBOOK]BEEF*.PS; as i

>>What am I doing wrong??

     Nothing, however your computer (MSBCS) does not know where node SMUG
is located.  You may want to ask your system manager to update your node
database.

                                    Greg

PS: In the meantime, you can use this:

     COPY 8343""::SMUG$DKA100:[BRUNO.COOKBOOK]BEEF*.PS; []

    There appears to be something wrong with SMUG. I am getting the same
    message as stated earlier 
    
    %DIRECT-E-OPENIN, error openingSMUG""::SMUG$DKA100:[BRUNO.COOKBOOK]*.*;* 
    as input
    -RMS-E-FND, ACP file or directory lookup failed
    -SYSTEM-F-INVLOGIN, login information invalid at remote node
    
    I have checked and SMUG is defined in the network database of the node
    I used.
    
    Can you please check this out.
    
    Thanks
