Hello,
I can't find the 'skey' program anywhere in the distributions.
Can anyone please tell me offhand why?
If this isn't a licensing question, then I surely will make
a stab at packaging this up! (and no, just saying "use otp
instead" isn't the answer).
Thank you!

It's a netscape plugin, standalone player, and KDE screen saver capable of
