BrowserBasic requires free Oracle JAVA Runtime Environment
BrowserBasic2.05 doesn't use a deprecated JAVA API and is compatible to JAVA 1.8. If you can't make it run, you can use the AppletViewer from the Oracle JDK, if BrowserBasic is located at an offline location, or start its application version with a command line tool. You can run the version BrowserBasic2.05dp, which uses a deprecated JAVA API and is a separate download, with the Linux Mint 9 Live-DVD.
