Specifically, the copyright is held by Metagaming Concepts Inc.  My guess
is that this is a different corporation to hold the Interplay rights
separate from the Metagaming Inc. corporation.

I wonder if Howard's traceable through the corporate paperwork; either
he's still filing tax returns for the corp, has sold it or has dissolved it.
If the latter, I wonder what happens to the copyrights...

This is about the only time I've ever wished I was a lawyer :)
