5 Welcome to the UAP Common Extensions. |
|
6 |
|
7 With this library we provide useful data structures and algorithms for common |
|
8 programmatic tasks in the C language. Using the build files you can create |
|
9 a static and a shared lib containing all units, but you may also use the UCX |
|
10 sources in your project and compile specific units by yourself. |
|
11 |
|
12 If you want to use this library, you can [download and install](install.html) |
|
13 the recent version. |
|
14 The source code is also available as Mercurial repository [at our site][1] and |
|
15 on [Source Forge][2]. |
