     2 title: Overview

     3 ---

     5 Welcome to the UAP Common Extensions.

     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.

    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].
