0 !LICENSE Marked with CC0 1.0 : see CAreadme.txt

No part in the library comes with this license. Could you please explain (tough I have an idea what's behind - and I very welcome in). However it is missing in the Header Format at the top.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Colours are limited to the colour numbers of the colours defined in the Colour Definition Reference - LDConfig.ldr However, it also needs a link to the color specs.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I would also add "Depreciated" to Physical Colour and the outdated licenses in the Header Format at the top. Just to make it clearer.

The only real reason is that support for CC0 is not yet implemented in the library. I've had higher priority projects

All other corrections are made.

Great Feedback.

Typo:

for clarity, the blockquote format for requirements will used sparingly.

for clarity, the blockquote format for requirements will be used sparingly.

Maybe frame the meta 'source' so it's bit more clear in regards of the follow-up text.

If the file is not in the parts or p folder, the folder shall be included with a separator of '/'. For example 's/3001s01.dat' or '48/4-4cyli.dat'.

When did the slash become the default? I thought the backslash was the preferred separator given the dos background? At the very least the document should be consistent (there are backslashes used too).

The correct term is probably always going to be "deprecated".

deprecated: officially made obsolete, though still usable ("It's an older code, sir, but it checks out. I was about to clear them.")
depreciated: lost monetary value over time (like a used car)

This was a typo. '\' was intended.  This is fixed and the other feedback incorporated.
