History

The first version was created in 1987 by Olivier Pironneau and was named MacFem (it only worked on Macintosh); PCFem appeared some time later. Both were written in Pascal.

In 1992 it was re-written in C++ and named FreeFem. Later versions, FreeFem+ (1996) and FreeFem++ (1998), used that programming language too.
