     47 * Where can I find more sample code?
     48 
     49  - The "uconv" utility is a full-featured command line application.
     50     It is normally built with ICU, and is located in icu/source/extra/uconv
     51 
     52  - The "icuapps" CVS module contains other applications and libraries not
     53     included with ICU.  You can check it out from the CVS command line
     54     by using for example,  "cvs co icuapps" instead of "cvs co icu",
     55    or through WebCVS at http://dev.icu-project.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/icuapps/
     56 
     57 ==
     58 * How do I build the samples?
     59 
     60  - See the Readme in each subdirectory
     61 
     62  To build all samples at once:
     63 
     64     Unix:   - build and install (make install) ICU
     65             - be sure 'icu-config' is accessible from the PATH
     66             - type 'make all-samples' from this directory 
     67                (other targets:  clean-samples, check-samples)
     68            Note: 'make all-samples' won't work correctly in out of source builds.
     69 
     70             - legacy and layout are not included in these lists,
     71                    please see their individual readmes.
