Right, but surely some competent program could make a little utility
to reach out and grab your cookies.txt file and throw it onto a disk.

I'm assuming it would take more than a simple copy process - maybe
changing machine names or something.  Otherwise people could just copy
it themselves.

More people would be likely to do it if there were a nice little
program to do it for them, though.  Double-click.  Click backup.  Take
floppy home.  Double-click.  Click synch.  Shazam!

(...) Well, you need to know the location of cookies.txt, that's the rub. Otherwise, you can just use a DOS Batch file for this task. Jasper (28 years ago, 25-Jan-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
