 3.3 Changes
   Changes are as follows

   Net::Netid 0.01
       Originated

   Net::Netid 0.02
       Change the test so that test support program modules resides in
       distribution directory tlib directory instead of the lib directory.
       Because they are no longer in the lib directory, test support files
       will not be installed as a pre-condition for the test of this
       module. The test of this module will precede immediately. The test
       support files in the tlib directory will vanish after the
       installtion.

 3.4 Adaptation data.
   This installation requires that the installation site has the Perl
   programming language installed. There are no other additional
   requirements or tailoring needed of configurations files, adaptation
   data or other software needed for this installation particular to any
   installation site.

 3.5 Related documents.
   There are no related documents needed for the installation and test of
   this release.

 3.7 Possible problems and known errors
   There is still much work needed to ensure the quality of this module as
   follows:

   *   State the functional requirements for each method including not only
       the GO paths but also what to expect for the NOGO paths

   *   All the tests are GO path tests. Should add NOGO tests.

   *   Add the requirements addressed as *# R: * comment to the tests

   *   Write a program to build a matrix to trace test step to the
       requirements and vice versa by parsing the *# R: * comments.
       Automatically insert the matrix in the Test::TestUtil POD.
