<p>Costa is a small and lightweight application which runs on top of MS-DOS or compatible operating systems. It replaces the DOS-prompt with a clean, user-friendly interface - a so-called GUI (Graphical User Interface). Costa comes packed with a bunch of useful accessories and can be used with or without a mouse.</p> <p>Developed by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://codeberg.org/jacobpalm/">Jacob Palm</a>, a Danish IT-professional and hobby developer, the first release of Costa came way back in 2004. Over the years - and through several releases - Costa has gradually evolved into what it is today, with new releases still coming out regularly as of 2025.</p> <p>Costa is provided free of charge, and the source code is open sourced for anyone who wants to have a look.
