FreeHand was created by Altsys Corporation in 1988 and licensed to Aldus Corporation which released versions 1 through 4. In 1994, Aldus merged with Adobe Systems and because of the overlapping market with Adobe Illustrator, FreeHand was returned to Altsys by order of the Federal Trade Commission. Altsys was later bought by Macromedia, which released FreeHand versions 5 through 11. In 2005, Adobe Systems acquired Macromedia.

It's the german version of Freehand 7. The DC 6.3-Image contains the installer files from the CD. You can find an image of the complete CD at max1zzz server.

This is the final version released by Aldus before it was taken up and developed further by Macromedia. Aldus Freehand at the time of vers 4.0 was almost absorbed by Adobe (to be axed, I guess) with their acquisition of Aldus Corp. - Acquired instead by Macromedia, postponing its demise for several years until the acquisition of Macromedia by Adobe. - For a breakdown of this turbulent period, see this Wikipedia entry on Freehand's history.
