Dedicated to Free MUMPS!

---

We hope that these web pages can help to facilitate and coordinate the ongoing development of all Open Source MUMPS implementations and the independence of the MUMPS standard from dominance by any one commercial vendor.

What is happening (June 1,2001)

• Sanchez Computer associates has released GT.M to Open Source for the Linux/x86 platform under the GNU General Public License. Homepage. Documentation and Binary distribution is available now at Sourceforge. Source code is available from the SourceForge site via CVS.
• Jim Self is using (and attempting to improve on) the MUMPS Validation Test Suite (MVTS) v9.10 to test MUMPS implementations for conformance to the 1995 MUMPS Standard. Results for recent versions of GT.M as well as MUMPS_V1, M3, and DTM should appear here shortly. Let me know if you would like to contribute results from testing other versions of MUMPS,
• MVTS Results for GT.M V42FT07
• MVTS Results for GT.M V42FT05
• MVTS Results for Mumps_V1
• Kevin O'Kane has released his MumpsVM under the GNU General Public License.
• Steve Zeck is working on an implementation of Mumps on Perl which we are calling MontyPerl. This includes a working MUMPS command line interpreter with nearly all standard MUMPS functions and operators  and a flexible globals module based on BerkeleyDB that implements the canonic MUMPS collation ordering. It still has serious omissions and limitations and needs to be sytematically tested. It is not at all to be considered for production use but should be very interesting to potential MUMPS implementers.Take a look and let us know if you have any suggestions or additions.
• A project for GUM and FreeM has been set up on Sourceforge.
• Jim Self is stirring up trouble ;-) (advocating Free MUMPS on discussion groups, looking into alternative implementation languages, working on logical breakdown of MUMPS and reorganizing web site) - more to follow.
• send an email if you know of something that should be mentioned here.

Please send questions or comments to the maintainers of this site Jim Steve. We will be adding more resources and utilities to make it easier and more attractive to work on Free MUMPS. If you have any suggestions or ideas please send them in!
