history
The project was initiated in 1992 by Jean-Paul Mikkers (MikMak) and initially only ran under MS-DOS . Although he disclosed the source code, he did not grant users the rights that are typical for free and open source software. In the meantime, he published under informal license conditions that are comparable to those of the BSD license and now, for example, grant users the essential right to use for any (including commercial) purpose. The last version by the original author appeared at the end of 1995.
