I ran veecad under wine in linux. Command line is wine Flawless.

It's been pointed out to me on the gEDA mailing list that I could use a script to edit the underlying data files containing my project in order to add the veroboard tracks. It's an approach that I would like to try with Kicad as well. Are there any standard libraries that I can use within my own scripts to edit the newpcb project data files ? I've looked around and can't see anything, but as I am new to Kicad, I may be missing some well known location. Thanks, Simon.

Another option is Veecad from http://www.veecad.com. Veecad is a stripboard/veroboard layout application that can use netlists generated by Kicad. It has both free and commercial (but pretty inexpensive) versions. Although I prefer do to home-brew boards using the toner transfer method, I have used Veecad to do a couple of layouts and it works pretty well.
