Just FWIW:

* It was updated in the last 5 months:
https://github.com/jacobpalm/costa

* Its website looks active and current:
https://costa.jacobpalm.dk/

* It isn't written in VBDOS. It's in Turbo Pascal:

«
COSTA.PAS is written using Borland Turbo Pascal, but should be
compatible with Microsoft QuickPascal as well

I would suggest to him that the FreePascal Compiler would be a better option.

I am not arguing for it, but it does seem to be in active development
and significantly modernised from 2004. Apparently 1.80 was released
last month.
