They store keys in a TOKEN file.  They don't encrypt this apparently, 
"Never send unencrypted TOKENS on the internet."

Bad key management, if you ask me.

2 Versions, one with 40 bit keys (CMDF?) is $99, the other is 'more
expensive.'  An awful lot of money for plain old des.  Viacrypt PGP
for the mac is about $129.
