I have the very old R2D2 machine by Welbilt.  My machine wants to put 
the dry ingredients in first with the liquids and or shortening stuff 
on the top.  I did look at other machines and was surprised that some 
of them wanted the liquids in first.  I just assumed liquid on the 
bottom would leak out.
I can take just about any recipe and convert it to (put in the order 
your machine needs) directions.  If you've used your machine - and 
lost the manual - try to remember the order you would have put stuff 
in - simiple.
As for MasterCook?  I agree, at one point it was a great program.  I 
went from MicroCook to Mastercook and from there to Accuchef.  I was 
pleasantly enlightened to learn that my old Mastercook recipes could 
easily be opened in wordpad or Microsoft Word. (text editing software 
of some type).  I can't imagine you'd have a problem with a recipe 
because of the source it was stored in.  I  would imagine some of 
these recipes on the list came from folks who have been baking for a 
long time and could very well have stored their collection in an 
older program like Mastercook.
I'm grateful for the recipes.       Don't shoot the messenger..................
