Downloading the example IDEs used in this chapter
In this chapter, we will be looking at two simple IDEs that illustrate the concepts presented. The first IDE is a program called ui, which stands for Unicon IDE. The ui program is included in the Unicon language distribution, where it can be found in a directory called uni/ide. The program consists of about 10,000 lines of code in 26 files, not counting code in library modules. The following screenshot shows the ui program:

The second IDE is called CVE. Among other things, CVE is a piece of research software that experimentally extends the ui IDE to support C++ and Java. You can download the source code for CVE from cve.sf.net. The following screenshot shows CVE. If you compare this screenshot with the preceding one, you can see that the CVE program's IDE started from the ui code base:
