I downloaded it as it looked good also. Installed it, and imported a
couple of 1000 recipe files from the meal-master web site. The
application bombed, and when I submitted a bug report as it bombs when
starting it up after that, the bug report was closed as a "duplicate"
error, with a recommendation of removing the recipe.db file. But there
is no recipe.db file. In XP, with SQL installed, it's sucked into the
"master DB" (not a good thing). Other applications also use it. So to
fix the problem, you'd have to remove SQL Server and re-install, which
may very well break other applications you have installed that required
SQL in the first place...

I'm leaving the bloat in my DB. And deleting the Gtk tool kit needed as
well as the Gourmet recipe manager.
