KitCAD is an enterprise application interface that has NO one supporting interfaces to control users but is instead made up
of many supporting computer interfaces, each with their own file formats and protocols. An enterprise is welcome to develop
KitCAD as an enterprise application interface in accordance with the GNU and other applicable copyrights, etc.
Willing Enterprise developers are required to create application interfaces (such as EXE files). A second requirement is that
the supporting interface, file format/s, and protocols be reconized by personal computers. A third and optional requirement
is that of OpenSource/GNU. The forth but optional requirement is that the file format/s be human editable to match KitCAD file format requirements.
Enterprises are encouraged to create high end portable tools in a selected areas of computer sciences for use by other developers or by developers using KitCAD interfaces.
Enterprise tools are used by developers to create much smaller groups of exploited data for use in the wild. Enterprise applications with such interfaces for developers. The text KitCAD file format should include developer tools (read and/or write) to match the selected KitCAD file format and then a Enterprise/Developer tool interface. See Developer section below.
Developers are not generally required to build EXE but may do so for use with the development of that project. Developers are not required to create front ends for KitCAD but are instead required
for the management of a specified part or section;-
Example 1: KP2 library developer, or other file user/maintainer (includes various programming like C#, C, C+, C++, Python, Java, Net, html) under the conditions of Copyright and GNU;
Example 2: X3D application developer, or file maintainer for/with KitCAD(GNU) as above with allowance for Developers own application interface and its conditions of Copyright or GNU.
No other help is provided in relation to developing KitCAD2 files or other file formats apart from this web page
at this time.
It is suggested that developers of an application interface use that 3rd party product/s to first generate data that matchs the required KitCAD files, then alter the generated data with a text editor to an acceptable level for use with KitCAD, library system, or limited exports.
KitCAD users are required to first generate data which remains under the users Copyright or systems using the KitCAD interfaces for re-use (import) of data within other 3rd party products or processes, but only if allowed and permitted by Copyright/s, GNU/s, or other condition. See included licence/s.
The original EXE files and other files exported in original condition by this media for Kitchen Pages, computer software is of Copyright to Jason Robinson as written for use with Kitchen Pages, and computer software. Any 3rd party products retain own Copyright, service, or use conditions (with or without affiliation, etc)
In simple terms KitCAD users retain ownership of user created data within KitCAD files because it is the users data entered into the file format for reading or writing by KitCAD, or other.
To compile with a BCB IDE use either the included 'start.bat' file or BPG and BPR files types found in the source code of GNU-KitCAD.zip
The binary files found in downloads was compiled using make.exe 5.2 ilink32 cpp32 from Borland BCB Pro 4 IDE/DOS.
(This will NOT compile with the Free edition of Borland C make.exe 5.02)
