Hi Wayne,

thanks for the answer.

I know S-expression I had to learn scheme in the university ;).
I'm glad to hear that there will be another file format - no offense meant :).

Besides, I would like to take a look at the source code of KiCAD. Is
there a good starting point or something? There are many, many

Thanks,
Nils
