Real Basic fan here so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
Early in 2013, they'll release the next version of Real Studio but with
a new pricing model. This new pricing model may help. You will be able
to develop in Real Studio and try out Real Studio for free. You'll only
need to purchase a license if you want to compile an application. You
can compile and deploy as many applications as you like, just like VFP,
but that's the requirement.
I have developed a VFP class in Real Studio to help ease the
transition. You get FileToStr(), StrToFile(), Transform(), etc. Other
than that, the language is a very close cousin to VFP.
Can you give an example of the brand and model of the Linux Tablets? If
it is full Linux, app development shouldn't be a problem. If it is
Android, then we have a problem. Real Studio doesn't compile to Android
(yet). You can however build a web application in Real Studio and have
it accessible across multiple platforms.
Good luck!

Subject: [NF] Writing a program for Linux Tablets.
Hi everyone
I have just taken on a client as a favour for my local church.
They deal with mentally handicapped children.
They saw some of the cheap Linux Tablets that I sell and think they could
afford to buy some for their volunteers to use for data entry.
I am looking for ideas on how I could program them with a menu and some forms
that they could enter data into, then have it email the data to their
supervisor, to input into a master table (FoxPro)
Bear in mind I am 70, only able to program using VFP, and would find it
difficult to learn another language. If relatively easy then I am prepared to
give my time and learn.
TIA
Peter
