  52 * Where can I find more sample code?
  53
  54  - The "uconv" utility is a full-featured command line application.
  55     It is normally built with ICU, and is located in icu/source/extra/uconv
  56
  57  - The "icuapps" CVS module contains other applications and libraries not
  58     included with ICU.  You can check it out from the CVS command line
  59     by using for example,  "cvs co icuapps" instead of "cvs co icu",
  60    or through WebCVS at http://dev.icu-project.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/icuapps/
  61
  62 ==
  63 * How do I build the samples?
  64
  65  - See the Readme in each subdirectory
  66
  67  To build all samples at once:
  68
  69     Windows MSVC:
  70             - build ICU
  71             - open 'all' project file in 'all' subdirectory
  72             - build project
  73             - sample executables will be located in /x86/Debug folders of each sample subdirectory
  74
  75     Unix:   - build and install (make install) ICU
  76             - be sure 'icu-config' is accessible from the PATH
  77             - type 'make all-samples' from this directory
  78                (other targets:  clean-samples, check-samples)
  79            Note: 'make all-samples' won't work correctly in out of source builds.
  80
  81             - legacy and layout are not included in these lists,
  82                    please see their individual readmes.
