The only other option I can think of is setting up a remote connection to a Windows PC so you can run Windows apps on it but control it through your Mac or use alternative programs. Since it looks like you use a G3, you will have to stick with Darwine on an emulator. Codeweavers contributes a good deal of their work back to the Wine project.

Cross Over uses specialized scripts to assist in the installation of Windows programs (though at it's core, it is the same LGPL Wine). There is a commercial version of Wine calledĬross Over created by Code Weavers.

Due to the use of an emulator, the PPC version will run programs at about 10-20% of your processors speed (and QEMU is a relitivly fast emulator). For those who use older PowerPC based Macs, there is a version of Darwine that uses the GPL It allows you to run on Linux and OS X programs that are made for Microsoft.

This means it needs an x86 processor but it is capable of achiving near native speeds. Darwine is the version of Wine for Mac, which is a free implementation of Windows API. Wine is not an emulator, rather it is a compatability layer. Direct3-D doesn't fully work, but with a little effort most stuff does work more or less (I think sound will not work on the Darwine version of Wine). You can get several programs to work on Wine. I have never used Darwine, but I have used Wine on Linux before.
