2@David Do they have a testing environment? It might be worth running one and hiring as a consultant one of the project developers, so he/she can fix bugs found in the testing run.Vitor Py– Vitor Py2011-06-16 18:13:42 +00:00Commented Jun 16, 2011 at 18:13

4I suspect that transitioning from GWBasic to another BASIC dialect won't be as "soft" as you think. Hofstadter's law applies especially to rewrites.Rein Henrichs– Rein Henrichs2011-06-16 19:05:28 +00:00Commented Jun 16, 2011 at 19:05

2Version numbers are very project-specific things. Some projects reserve the major digit for something very special and just keep revving the minor and micro versions.Lars Viklund– Lars Viklund2012-09-24 20:06:43 +00:00Commented Sep 24, 2012 at 20:06

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
