! 65:
! 66: FreeM is an implementation of the MUMPS programming language, began by the efforts of the mysterious Shalom ha-Ashkenaz. In response to InterSystems' spree of buying up all competing MUMPS implementations, Shalom gifted FreeM to MUG Deutschland in 1998, in hopes that the MUMPS community would turn it into a viable, freely available, and fully-featured MUMPS implementation.
! 67:
! 68: After years of dormancy, the FreeM project has been resurrected, and under the stewardship of Coherent Logic Development and a small core team of contributors, work is proceeding towards completing the original FreeM team's goals, and much more.
