Nopie :-) 

Well, I tried the opiekey program and otp gives some advantages:
  
 * you can specify how long the password should be.
 * choose if you want true random or digraph obeying passwords.
 * otp gives 50 passwords, which differ with every invocation

all with suppling less options to the program

disadvantage: 
 * There´s no password and seed involved, so you won´t be able to 
   get your list back, once it is displayed.

Thanks for your anwer,

Jens
