A few days ago I posted a message about using Kicad to create a stripboard 
layout. After getting no reply, I decided to just have ago. I already used the 
free version of Veecad to layout my board, but what I really wanted was a 3D 
view, so I just recreated the circuit in EESchema , used CVpcb to link the 
modules to the netlist, and then finally created a template in PCBNew of a 
stripboard with holes at 0.1" pitch, and used that template to layout the parts 
just as the Veecad print out.   The green bottom tracks are the copper strips 
on the stripboard, the green X's are the track breaks needed, and the red 
tracks on top of the board are the wire links. I will post a couple of images 
in the File section for you to look at, so that you can see what I'm talking 
about. The circuit in question is one half of a Computer Operated Telescope 
drive system that I am in the process of building.
