-S7.NET+ -- A .NET library to connect to Siemens Step7 devices

+# s7netplus -- A .NET library so Siemens S7 Connectivity
+
+## Overview
+
+S7.Net Plus is a continuation of the work done on the [S7.Net](http://s7net.codeplex.com/) project by [Juergen1969](http://www.codeplex.com/site/users/view/juergen1969).
+I found the library simple and effective, but the project has languished unchanged since late 2009.
+
+I was doing some automation work already and saw a few places where the code base could be improved. Because Juergen did not respond
+to my request for committing code, I decided to pick up where he left off here on GitHub.
