Converting mcx and mc2 MasterCook files to mxp/mx2

I have a large list of family recipes currently in backup files in mc2 format from MasterCook. Unfortunately the MasterCook 5 software has been uninstalled and its CD apparently thrown out. Is there a utility that can do this conversion so I can import them to BigOven? frankvan

I'm trying out BigOven to see if I can replace Living Cookbook, which I find too cumbersome to use. I have exported some recipes from Living Cookbook in MX2 format but BigOven won't import them and I don't know why since I could import some that I exported from an older version of Mastercook...

Importing MasterCook mc2 files

I purchased BigOven online after noting that it will import MasterCook recipes. When I opened the import tool it only allows for MX2 and MXp file imports. How do I import my mc2 files?

3 for the 'wish list'

Discovered your software and community yesterday. Wow! After years of searching for a successor to my trusty Mastercook 5 I think I've finally found it. I've had a go at importing and adding recipes and I must say it's very impressive and I love the idea of an online food community. Finally...
