  I know David Shaw considered that possibility, however, I didn't
understood the solution in case paperkey is not available... So I'll
take a look at answers to that question...

  Right, I sent myself a copy of paperkey, to my e-mail account at gmail
and yahoo... one of them should survive... and if the program can't run
on the operating systems available at the time when it is needed, I
suppose there will still be virtual machines or emulators capable of
making it run... if not, probably it will also be the time to make new keys.

  Best Regards
