Simple BASIC lives in Java

The author shows how a random generator written in Basic can be run in a java program with the original, Basic source code. It's actually a humorous solution to the ancient problem of keeping old programs alive even after the interest and support of them has disappeared.

Ofcourse, the solution is not recommended for wider use, but it shows what you can do with a little imagination and a powerfull programming language.
