                        THANK YOU FOR TRYING THIS PROGRAM.

     Why am I offering "The Chef's Source" as shareware? For two reasons
   actually. Number one is that I truly believe that the majority of you
   are honest, especially those who enjoy trying out these types of
   programs. Most people realize the hundreds of hours it takes to develop
   a computer program and are quite willing to reimburse the author for his
   hard work.

     The second reason is because I wanted to get this information into
   your hands the cheapest way possible. I enjoy sharing with you all the
   many excellent gourmet suppliers I've discovered across the nation and
   erge you to give those of interest a try. I appreciate the letters of
   thanks I've received from so many who have discovered something they've
   considered really outstanding and have written to tell me. It's always
   nice hearing from you!

     Unlike some computer programs my work with "The Chef's Source" is
   never done. I am constantly researching new suppliers and updating the
   program itself in order to provide you with an ever expanding list of
   options to choose from. Not only for your own culinary enjoyment but as
   ideas for gifts as well.

     A gift of food is always welcome and with so many manufactures listed
   in "The Chef's Source" it's easy to make that gift really special, even
   more so if you know the recipient's personal tastes. What better way to
   impress family, friends, associates, employees or business contacts with
   your thoughtfullness? They'll think of you with each luscious bite or
   every time they use that cookbook or piece of equipment you personally
   picked out and presented them with!

     But don't forget about treating yourself as well either!

     Since this is only the shareware version, please, I erge you to register
   now! It's so inexpensive, will help me continue my work, and you'll get a
   much expanded version, one that contains numerous chapters not found in
   this edition.

     Naturally you can't purchase all your culinary needs through the
   mail and the registered version takes that into account. It provides a
   listings of major manufacturers that are eager to get you to try their
   products and will bend over backwards to see that you do, and to keep you
   as a customer. It shows you how to acquire the specific coupons for the
   products you normally buy on a regular basis. It instructs you on how to
   get the most out of those coupons and cut the cost of your weekly grocery
   bill to the bare bone.

     It also lists hundreds of companies offering free samples and recipes,
   worth hundreds of dollars for just about everything, including your kids
   and pets!

     So even if your budget is tight it can help you free up enough funds
   so that you can take advantage and try some of the wonderful,
   exceptional, outstanding products the suppliers listed in this program
   are anxious to introduce you to!

     You won't be disappointed by registering!

   INTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

     If the disk you now have contains the file "JDGR.exe", then your copy
   of "THE CHEF'S SOURCE" is in compressed form. DO NOT type "JDGR" while
   logged onto the drive containing your original disk. That would cause
   the program to decompress the files onto your original diskette, which
   probably doesn't have enough free space to contain them all.

      Please follow the directions below. Decompressing this file is
   easily accomplished in one of two ways, depending on whether you want
   to run it from a floppy drive or a hard drive.

         -------------------------------------------------------------
                           HARD DRIVE INSTALLATION:

     To install the program onto your hard drive (C:) all you have to do
   is type the word "install" {enter}. The install program will
   automatically create a directory titled "TCS" on your hard drive. All
   program files will be decompressed into that directory. Upon completion
   your computer will log onto that directory. To start the program itself
   type "begin" {enter}.

         -------------------------------------------------------------
                           FLOPPY DRIVE INSTALLATION:

     Although it will not operate as quickly "THE CHEF'S SOURCE" can also
   be run from a floppy drive as well. Copy just the file "JDGR.exe" onto
   a high density diskette, then type "JDGR" {enter}. The files will
   decompress onto that disk. Once finished you may delete the "JDGR.exe"
   file as it will no longer be needed. To start the program itself type
   "begin" {enter}.

         -------------------------------------------------------------

   NOTE:
        When instructed to type in a word the quotation marks are only
        used to emphasize that word: do not actually type them as
        well.
   ALSO:
        {enter} simply means to press the enter key on your
        keyboard.

         -------------------------------------------------------------
                              VOICE INSTRUCTIONS

      Once you've become familiar on how to operate the program you need
   not listen to the voice instructions if you desire not to. To skip
   through them press any key just as they start. Continue operation from
   there as you normally would.

         -------------------------------------------------------------

   PLEASE be sure to read the "Information on THE CHEF'S SOURCE" chapter
   under "Information" on the Selection Menu.

         -------------------------------------------------------------

   THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORTING SHAREWARE!
