+The UCW library
+===============
-The UCW libraries aim to provide some general purpose tools for C
-programming language. It contains faster implementations of some
-algorithms found in libc (for example, sorting), few commonly used not
-available in libc (sha1 hash), several generic data structures (hash
-tables, binomial heap) and some less common tools (memory pools).
+The UCW library aims to provide a set general purpose tools for programming
+in the C language. It contains generic data structures (lists, trees, hash
+tables etc.), fast memory allocators optimized for various usage patterns,
+abstract I/O streams and optimized implementations of some common algorithms
+(e.g., sorting of arrays and files).
-It is probable you may save yourself some time by using this library.
+Please note that this documentation is not yet complete. Many modules are
+not described, so you might need to look into the source code.
