Mark,
   I obtained the software from a software house (one of those places
that sells copies of shareware and PD software). Most any of them have
this program. It is called PC Bartender and was written by Bill Pearl of
Dinosaur Distributers back in 1986.
   It seems like a nice program. Here are a few of the things that you
are supposed to be able to do with it:
	add, delete, or change the drink recipes
	call on a recipe by name, type, content, or by comparing to what
you have listed in your inventory file (which I'm having problems with).
	give lists of alternate alcohols and varying names for the 
same alcohols

   This program has been basically unsoported for a few years. The
author took it off his shelf and decided to put it out as shareware to
see what would happen with it. Becasue it hasn't been touched for a
couple of years, its recipes seem to lack a bit (but you are supposed to
be able to change this). 
   If you have access to bitnet, I should be able to send it to you. I
don't know if I could send binaries to you over internet (if you know
how, do tell). If you would prefer, I could give you the phone numbers
of a few of the shareware houses and you could ask for their free
catalogues.
