Some replies about The All Drinks List
PLEASE NOTE: It is not the intent to put down any other guides that are out there, simplily to say what the others have to say.


If you would like to comment on the list, please email me. I welcome any tips for making it a list everyone can use.


This was from the makers of a Bartender Guide called The Bartender's Assistant:

Thank you for your interest in our software package.  Although you have a 
nice package, it does not come anywhere near being the type of package 
that our home and professional bartenders, and restaurant and bar owner's 
desire.  Your package is obviously written for the person who has 
absolutely no interest in bartending and therefore does not know a drink 
recipe that is properly written.  We at Bottoms Up Software, Inc. advise 
you to get a professional bartender on your staff to verify your drink 
recipes.  Another piece of advise, if you wish to have a business, is to 
always get input from your prospective customers in regards to the type 
of software package they require.  The software should fit their needs 
and not yours.  Another point in business is to never give something a 
way for nothing if it can be sold.  Only those things not worth having 
are given away! Keep trying.

Here are some other emails I have received... In response, I am working, through a friend, to make a MAC version of the list. As of 10/9/96, there still is no version yet. Keep posted for further developments.
