Gary's Guides - Restaurants or "Diner"By Gary Phipps,SemiSmart SoftwareDescriptionThe application Diner (GaryÕs Guides - Restaurants) is a tool for reviewing and selecting restaurants. This is the shareware version. There are two parts to the program. The first,called Guide contains popup menus for specifying cities, cuisines, the day, and the meal you want to eat. Sliders communicate to the program your level of interest in the quality of food, service, ambience, convenience and speed. "Press Here for RecommendationÓ button and the program will evaluate each restaurant in its data base against your criteria, listing the top four restaurants in the box below the button. You can get help at anytime by tapping the Ò?Ó in the upper right corner. A small random factor is thrown into each evaluation to prevent the program from favoring restaurants because of their location in the data base and to add a little variety. The second part of the program is the Restaurant view. ItÕs here that you enter information about your favorite restaurants. The format is similar to the guide view. The restaurant view also allows you to add a fudge factor called preference to capture those intangibles that make some restaurants better than others. Also included is a package called "Remover". This package will allow you to remove the restaurant soup and other entries that Diner has made in other soups. It does not remove backup soups. Registered users will receive an enhanced release with support for printing, faxing, beaming, mailing and connection kit viewing and editing. Registration information is available in the applications Help view under ÒSharewareÓ. The registration fee is $15. Your support is greatly appreciated.
