DS18x Service

This program is a native Windows Service and it logs temperature measurements from the Dallas 1-Wire sensors. Service can run without user logged in. Program can broadcast measurements to the local area network using so called mailslot's and so temperature readings can be seen from the other workstations. Client program will be released in near future.
