Armory is fine for importing Cascacius coins. There is no write up that I can remember of, you'd have to search this subforum to unearth one from 2011.
The basics are straight forward however. Armory deterministic wallet backups do not cover imports, therefor if you import keys and want the funds to be covered by your backup, your best path is to move the BTC into your wallet after the import.
To import, you need the WIF base58 key (starts with 5) or the raw hex key. The process is as follows:
1) Start ArmoryQt in offline mode.
2) Go inside the Wallet Properties dialog of the wallet you want to import the key in.
3) Pick Import/Sweep Private Key on the right side menu. Pick import.
4) Once you're done adding in the keys, restart Armory in the regular mode. The wallet will be rescanned and the coins will be available to spend.
5) Make a transaction moving this coin into an address owned by your wallet.
Alternatively, you can cut on some of these steps by starting Armory the regular way and picking sweep instead of import when you input the private key. This will generate the transaction to move the coins for you.
