Interestingly enough L&S Computerware is, in a sense, still in business.

L&S was a trade name of HLS Duplication, Inc.  In 1995, HLS was acquired by,
and made a subsidiary of, Nimbus Manufacturing Inc.  The subsidiary was
known as Nimbus Software Services until 1997 when Nimbus Mfg. closed the
plant in Sunnyvale, Ca.

Thus, unless the copyright was otherwise sold or transferred, the current
copyright holder of Crossword Magic 2.0 is Nimbus Manufacturing Inc., very
much a going concern.

Ironically, Nimbus has developed anti piracy tools, and apparently has a
deep interest in copyright issues..

You can call the company's US offices at:

NIMBUS MANUFACTURING INC
