KIDS

Kernel Installation & Distribution System (KIDS) is a way of creating a standard way of sending and loading patches and packages.

A KIDS distribution creates an entry in the BUILD File. After the KIDS distribution is installed into an existing system, a log is recorded in the INSTALL File.

The following package elements are distributed in a KIDS build: (For any BUILD, these are listed in the BUILD COMPONENTS subfile)
 * PRINT TEMPLATE FILE             (File #0.4)
 * SORT TEMPLATE FILE             (File #0.401)
 * INPUT TEMPLATE FILE            (File #.402)
 * FORM FILE                      (File #.403)
 * FUNCTION FILE                  (File #.5)
 * DIALOG FILE                    (File #.84)
 * BULLETIN FILE                  (File #3.6)
 * MAIL GROUP FILE                (File #3.8)
 * HELP FRAME FILE                (File #9.2)
 * ROUTINE FILE                   (File #9.8)
 * OPTION FILE                    (File #19)
 * SECURITY KEY FILE              (File #19.1)
 * PROTOCOL FILE                  (File #101)
 * LIST TEMPLATE FILE             (File #409.61)

 * PARAMETER TEMPLATE FILE        (File #8989.52)
 * REMOTE PROCEDURE FILE          (File #8994)

Any build can include other files as well, but these are the ones that are natively supported by KIDS 1.0
