If you are interested (and running on a VAX/VMS system) I can forward a copy of 
a COCOMO modeling program that I coauthored about 7 years ago. Unfortunatly the 
only thing available is the .EXE as the source was left on a machine I worked 
on a few years back... so if you have MFTU... let me know. BTW the program uses 
Barry's model.
