ScapeGoat is an application that allows you to easily/automatically
delete the MagicCookie and/or Global History files created by NetScape in
the Preferences Folder on your startup disk. The MagicCookie file on a
Macintosh (in the NetScape Folder inside the Preferences Folder inside
the System Folder) contains information ("cookies") that a web site wants
to write to your hard drive. Cookies are a general mechanism which server
side connections (such as CGI scripts) can use to both store and retrieve
information on the client side of the connection. The Global History file
(created/maintained by NetScape Navigator) keeps track of URLs you've
surfed, web pages/files you've downloaded, every image you've seen,
IDs/passwords you've sent, searches you've done, etc. (Ever wonder how
NetScape knows what links to display as red vs. blue? This is how it
knows). The ReadMe file contains information on cookies and why you may
or may not want them on your system.

System requirements:
* Any Macintosh running NetScape Navigator
* System 7.0 or later

For more information, please read the Read Me file enclosed.
