                         Change Description to a more generic "A basis for building LANDIS-II extension"




In PlugInMain text editor window:
     Change namespace to Landis.Extensions 
     Make sure "public" keyword presents before "class PlugInMain"
     Add the base class name ": Landis.PlugIns.PlugIn" after "public class PlugInMain
        Click on the base class name, click on smart tag (a little box underneath "L") and click on the pull-down box. Select the only item in the list: Implement abstract class
     'Landis.PlugIns.PlugIn'

     which indicates the method has not been implemented.
