It <br><br> COSMOS was initially released in 2006, whereas the latest version (v.25) was released in summer 2020.<br><br>COSMOS 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 ]] (v 1.2the Dobbertin 63 KB TPA version) and is under development since 2005. Using COSMOS built upon the mouse based graphics user interface as pioneered by Xerox at Palo Alto and popularized by Apple with the Lisa and Macintosh computers. COSMOS can track his be used to edit the daily income, plan the monthly expenses and organize his costsperform trial and error analyses in order to maximize the annual profit. <br><br> The application requires at least 59 KB A full annual project of TPACOSMOS, 128 including the user attachments, the user block of invoices, the summary files as well as the user agenda notices can hardly reside/run on a standard CPC6128 as it requires minimum 350 KB of total RAM and two disc drivesspace. Furthermore it supports In order to process and store the Dobbertin hard diskaforementioned data, deals with COSMOS makes full use of the CP/M memory resources and CPC's peripherals. Thus, an external high capacity drive (360-800 KB), some RAM expansion(256-512 KB), includes a user friendly GUI using AMX mousehard disk (20 MB HD), provides a multi color screen saverserial RS232C interface, supports high capacity external drivesa dot matrix printer, deals with a color monitor (for the serial 16-color screen saver) and parallel ports of an [[AMX Mouse]] are fully suggested. Notice that the CPC, supports CPC-latter configuration resembles to-CPC or CPC-to-a well equipped 8086/8088 PC communication and contains graphicscomputer. <br><br> COSMOS is a personal business application similar to '''To download the MS-DOS-era PC applications and probably one latest version of COSMOS (v.25/Summer 2020) use the largest projects ever developed for link below.''' <br>'''Boot CP/Musing the original COSMOS disk and execute A>SETUP.COM. ''' <br><br> Version 22 By using the setup installation utility of COSMOS is under preparationthe user can initialize any annual project or start temporary or a demo project in order to become familiar with the COSMOS user interface and functions. 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, whereas [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>Upon installing the application in drive B or HD20 it is suggested to execute COSMOS using all the available extra RAM (no RAM load minimization) and using a new empty boot disk in drive A as the redundant disk (user level software RAID-1 operation).   == Web links Download ==*[http://www.cpcwiki.eu/index.php/File:COSMOS_V21COSMOS_V24.dsk Download from CPCWiki] [[Category:Applications]] [[Category:CP/M]] [[Category:Manual]]
