My name is Dimitrios Karalis. I live in Athens and I was born in 1974. During the period 1987-1992 I developed several applications for the CP/M-80 and the CPC6128. To name a few: Hotel Manager, Technical Dictionary, CPCWrite, Basket Game Monitoring Tool, Music Metronome, The Doctor's Database and Mission-1990 (a text adventure game similar to the games of Magnetic Scroll). Although I still have got the source codes, I never managed to release any of them! Pixel magazine (see N.60, page 32) was the inspirational guide for all this work...Nowadays I have got a 6128 with a CTM and GT monitor, a double 3.5”/5.25” floppy drive unit, ParaDOS, X-DDOS and R-DOS ROMs, Dobbertin 512 KB RAM expansion, an EPSON LX printer, an AMX mouse, a RS232C, a KONIX Joystick and a hand made reset button. I am mainly interested in collecting all CP/M-80 applications and OverScan Demos/Games for the CPC. In 2005 I released my first demo, the "Monkey Island 2 demo" (see cpcrulez.fr), a 600 KB screen demo on the basis of the well known famous adventure game. I still make programs for the CPC and CP/M just for fun and in order to deal with some of my everyday problems (budget, car maintenance, etc).

COSMOS, the personal cost monitoring system (which also includes ASCII Tools) was my biggest project for the CPC (2005-2021). Its final version (v.27) was released in November 2021.

In summer 2024 (40 years of CPC, 50 years of CP/M-80) On File database management system will be released for the CPC and CP/M-80..
