That's unfortunate. I don't like conflict, but in this situation, I would be inclined to post a "beware", both here and on the CCS board. I am not a professional contractor, but the work I have done has often been frustrating. In virtually every job, the requirements seem to keep growing, and I then have to toughen up and request additional payment prior to providing additional code. Although, the welfare of my students may not depend on payment, I get myself into a mindset that it does. Toughens me up. But, don't let it eat you up. Take some stock in knowing you would never stoop so low. In the future, stage the work and resolve to insist on partial prior payment as the software is delivered.
