Cookies are assumed to be in directory \COOKIE on the current drive.
Make the cookie directory, \COOKIE.
Copy COOKIES.EXE to \COOKIE directory, and run to extract the files.
Run BAKE.EXE. It will process the data, starting output files,
\TMP\SRT#, then will sort, producing \TMP\MRG# files, that become:
\COOKIE\COOKIE.DAT, about 1.25 Megabytes. You must use a BigDos window.
You can set the environment variable COOKIE to override the default
directory if you wish. Example: SET COOKIE=L:\TEXT\COOKIES
The MailBox "C" command displays a random cookie.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are three programs you use to maintain your cookies:
BAKE.EXE
Creates the files COOKIE.DAT, COOKIE.IDX, and COOKIE.KEY from the
individual cookie text files COOKIE.0nn.
SHAKE.EXE
Displays a random cookie, or the cookie specified on the command line.
TAKE.EXE
Extracts the cookie text files (COOKIE.0nn) from the cookie database.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The cookie source files are:
COOKIE.0nn
Where "nn" is the sequential number of the cookie file, starting at 00.
The following three files comprise the cookie database:
COOKIE.DAT - The cookie text.
COOKIE.IDX - Index into COOKIE.DAT.
COOKIE.KEY - Alphabetic index to cookies, built by BAKE, used by TAKE.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Format of the COOKIE.0nn files:
"Text of the first cookie."

The second cookie text ...

That is, each file contains as many cookies as you like, each cookie
ends with a line containing a single tilde.
