'''COSMOS''' is a personal cost monitoring system COSt MOnitoring System written by [[KSL|KSL]]. <br>

It is a personal business application similar to the MSDOS-era PC applications and one of the most recent projects developed for CP/M-80. COSMOS runs under [[CP/M|CP/M 2.2]], (the Dobbertin 63 KB TPA version) and is built upon the mouse - based graphics user interface (GUI) as pioneered by Xerox at Palo Alto and popularized by Apple with the Lisa and Macintosh computers. COSMOS can be used to edit your income, plan your expenses and maximize your monthly or annual profit. The application makes full use of the CP/M-80 and CPC6128 capabilities and its peripherals as well. A full annual project of COSMOS (full 366 days matrix) can hardly run on a standard CPC6128 as it requires approximately 300 KB of disc space. Thus, in order to deal with an annual project, it It is thus suggested to use the "Personal Computer" configuration of the CPC: <br><br> 128 KB RAM, 180 KB internal floppy drive <br>

By using Setup the setup installation utility of COSMOS the user can initialize any annual project or setup start a demo project in order to become familiar with the COSMOS user interface and functions. <br><br> As far as the controls are concerned, Cursor keys or Mouse can be used in order to control the pointer. [F0] key simulates the left button of the mouse. [F.] key simulates the right button of the mouse. Left button can be used for (Yes), whereas the right button can be used for (No),(Next) or (On-Board) help. ESC key can be used to escape. <br><br>
