Question:

I have a back up seed for my armory wallet, there is no BTC in it, but there is some Bitcoin Cash there. (prefork wallet, and I moved my BTC from there last december).
I have not updated bitcoin core nor my armory wallet since there.
Now armory doesnt event start.

so my question is, since I want to get my BCH from that prefork address, and I dont want to be forced to synchronize bitcoin core, -
- can I use the Root Key (from my Paper Backup for Armory Wallet that I printed out initially)
in some application/program to recover my private key?

Or I do HAVE to install armory wallet and recover it there?

thanks in advance.
