+
+    WARNING: you may want to backup your browser's cookies file if you use
+    this class to save cookies.  I *think* it works, but there have been
+    bugs in the past!
+
+    This class differs from CookieJar only in the format it uses to save and
+    load cookies to and from a file.  This class uses the Mozilla/Netscape
+    `cookies.txt' format.  lynx uses this file format, too.
+
+    Don't expect cookies saved while the browser is running to be noticed by
+    the browser (in fact, Mozilla on unix will overwrite your saved cookies if
+    you change them on disk while it's running; on Windows, you probably can't
+    save at all while the browser is running).
+
+    Note that the Mozilla/Netscape format will downgrade RFC2965 cookies to
+    Netscape cookies on saving.
+
+    In particular, the cookie version and port number information is lost,
+    together with information about whether or not Path, Port and Discard were
+    specified by the Set-Cookie2 (or Set-Cookie) header, and whether or not the
+    domain as set in the HTTP header started with a dot (yes, I'm aware some
+    domains in Netscape files start with a dot and some don't -- trust me, you
+    really don't want to know any more about this).
+
+    Note that though Mozilla and Netscape use the same format, they use
+    slightly different headers.  The class saves cookies using the Netscape
+    header by default (Mozilla can cope with that).
