OVERVIEW:
---------

The CGOS (congatec OS) API provides access to congatec specific board
information and features.

The API is compatible and identical across all congatec boards and all 
supported operating systems.

This package includes support for the following operating systems:
	Windows XP 	(32bit)
	Windows 7 	(32bit/64bit)
	Windows 8 	(32bit/64bit)
	Windows 10 	(32bit/64bit)
	
The 64bit interface is able to work with native 64bit applications as well as with
32bit applications that run in the WOW64 environment.


INSTALLATION:
-------------

Execute the setup.exe utility provided in the \Cgos folder.
The routine will automatically select and install the correct 32bit 
or 64 bit version of the CGOS interface.


USAGE:
------

To use the CGOS Library API functions from a C/C++ project you need to include the
Cgos.h header file (\Cgos\INC\Cgos.h) and link with the matching Cgos.lib import 
library for your OS (\Cgos\32\LIB\Cgos.lib or \Cgos\64\LIB\Cgos.lib).

For CGOS function details and parameters please refer to the Cgos.h header file
and the CGOS API User's Guide available on the congatec web page.
Sample files are provided in source and binary in this package that demonstrate 
some of the CGOS functions (CgosDump, cgosmon).
