The primary reference to COCOMO is the book by its originator:

     Barry W. Boehm
     Software Engineering Economics
     Prentice-Hall, 1981

The formulas in this book are easy to find. I actually set up a
lotus spreadsheet on the PC to do the calculations. It's very simple.
There is no need to buy a COCOMO package. You can even set up all 3
models described in the book. Go to your library, you'll be glad
you did.
