Listen to me wine
worker201:
Just for kicks, I tried to install Wine on my Mac last night. The configure went just great, and the dependencies were made just fine (I have a lot of open source libraries installed). But the actual compile failed at like the first line. CPU unsupported! How lame is that? More to the point, what kind of configuration program will pass an unsupported architecture? I mean, the first thing configure noticed was that I was using Darwin on PowerPC. And it never bothered to think that might not be okay?
Fortunately, there are a couple of free OS emulators out there. I got this one called QemuX which looks promising. If only I can remember where I put that damned Win98 cd ...

Fixed! :D
EDIT: I hope that wasn't supposed to be obvious.

I thought it was rather clever, actually.
Pathos:
...why can't it compile on a powerpc?
does it have a lot of assembly code?

I'm using a different port of QEMU than that (same engine though) on my Powerbook...even at 1.5GHz, Windows 2000 is ungodly slow. You can hit 100% CPU by dragging the mouse frantically across the screen. :o I say, find a copy of Virtual PC.
