San Diego, Academic Computer Center Lines: 18 i hate to beat a very dead horse but people shouldn't post recipes out of a cookbook to netnews. it is illegal by the copyright laws. most books have something in the front that say something like no part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording, or otherwise, without the prior written permission of the publishers. i know i'd like to post some recipes that i think are real knock-outs but i feel that i'm depriving the author of some well-earned money by giving a bunch of people that recipe for free. what i do instead is say something like "there is a good recipe for so-and-so in the book whats-its-name by whats-their-name". that way you can either buy the book or borrow it from the library (or friend, etc.). remember that these authors/cooks spend a lot of their time testing and collecting these recipes (i don't know about dinah shore); they deserve whatever little money the publisher tosses their way.
