But from what I read on this forum, much of Basic4PPC features (other than the straight language itself, but the GUI, data manipulation and so forth - all the additional libraries) are based heavily on the features of Microsoft's .NET that must be present for Basic4PPC to work.
So since .NET is unlikely to be supported by non-Microsoft suppliers, all those features would have to be translated into whatever the native equivalents are.
I know that iPhone is heavily protected, but I thought that Android came with a free development environment. (Though I have not verified this or tried to locate it.) If so, an idea of how different the environment is from .NET could be deduced by trying to re-write a Basic4PPC program for Android...
Mike.
