UAP Common Extensions
=====================
+
+Welcome to the UAP Common Extensions.
+
+With this library we provide useful data structures and algorithms for common
+programmatic tasks in the C language. By design the features are divided into
+modules to minimize the library footprint. Using the build files you can create
+a static and a shared lib containing all modules, but you may also use the UCX
+sources in your project and compile specific modules by yourself to further
+minimize the footprint.
+
+If you want to use this library, you can [download and install](/install.html)
+the recent version.
+The source code is also available as Mercurial repository [at our site][1] and
+on [Source Forge][2].
