We have set high goals for project, including use of generics and custom naming conventions. Some of these features were not there when we started the project (i.e. were developed for us), but we can say we are very happy with the outcome in the end, having met most of our goals. Close communication with Fred, the brain behind gmBasic, made this process smooth. He did an excellent job extending the product to support generics and other enhancements. When facing a difficult problem we would repeat his favourite quote "Yard by yard, life is hard. Inch by inch, itlife's a cinch".
Of course, there were setbacks. However, whenever that happened, we always had Mark's advice close, not only to suggest clever technical solutions, but also to cheer the mood up!
