'''Cosmos''' is a personal cost monitoring system written by [[Dimitris Karalis]]. It runs under [[CP/M]] 2.2 and is under development since 2005. The user can track his expenses and organize his costs. Cosmos supports the hard disk under CP/M, deals with the RAM expansion and contains graphics.
== History ==
=== May 2005 ===
* Starting COSMOS coding during Military Service
=== January 2006 ===
* COSMOS first release (v.18) *
=== June 2006 ===
* Improved COSMOS documentation
* COSMOS OverView added in COSMOS Tools
* Transfer function added in OverView module (Overview -> Month processor)
* Number of hits added in search (SRC) module
* New editor added for user attachments (NotePad-like)
* Added support for attachments: *.ATT extension files only
* Added the ability to modify text attachments with built in editor (ATT files)
* All in-progress ASCII bars converted to real graphic bars
* Verification of Cost matrix added in tools module
* Improved speed for SUM module
* Option added for <End Of Month> Calculations and 2D Graph
* Added the ability to install COSMOS in HD-0 (Dobbertin/Vortex/Campursoft ?)
* Small graphic icons added at specific procedures and locations
* Option for 5 sequential inputs added in month processor (instead of calc.)
* Annual agenda module included in COSMOS OverView (view and edit)
* Full Agenda Search support added in search module
* Individual Annual Agenda module added (this requires a lot of memory...)
* Improved Month editor
* Alarm signal added in SUM module
* Warning Meassages added in case of negative cash availability
* Optimized Ram Expansion management for multiple projects
* COSMOS second release (v.19)!
=== July 2007 ===
* Improved Verify procedure to check Net annual costs and income
* Skip Option added in SUM module providing faster execution time
* Save icon added in advanced mode (3.5" disc)
* Printer support for TXT review file (instead of using CP/M PIP)

* Improved Agenda editor
* In-progress bars added while Printing or transferring
* Left margin added on printed hard copy in SUM print function
* All CRT frames and logos tuned for reasons of uniformity
* Calculation of maximum profit added in SUM module
* Previous year residual added in TXT review file
* VDU bugs fixed in Overview, Annual and Constant module
* Help modules homogenized in one executable
* All modules renamed for easier backup using wild cards (module.*)
* Improved management of temporary files
* Free disk space and free RAM space added
* Added control of destination disk space in Setup
* Each comment variable size reduced by 1 byte
* Day and Date added in Agenda in Overview module
* Graphic bar added in month module
* Sequantial month analysis added for faster processing
* Added comments length check
* New low level routines added (some provided by Werner Cirsovius :) )
* New TAX module added to control TAX
* Virtual matrices reduced to allow COSMOS execution in 169 kB disks
* Alert function implemented in COSMOS Main, Overview, Agenda and SUM
* Code checked for its validity for more than 2 years on a daily basis
* Automatic tracking of income or expenses added in Search module
* COSMOS third release (v.20)
== Plans for the future ==
* Improved Screen Saver using Amstrad CPC Game heroes ?
* Customized TAX routines ?
* Interfacing with new generation OS ?
* Standard CP/M plus version ?
