Look into WINE, and CrossoverOffice, and VMWare

I'm told all of those do work, but wine is not for the faint of heart. wine
is the only free product in that list, though.

Last I'd checked, they only had A97 working, not A2K and later.

Seems like there used to be a list of apps that were up and running
on Wine, but I can't seem to find it by Googling. Maybe that was
VMWare, instead.

WINE - recursively stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator
http://www.winehq.com/ It's a reimplementation of the Windows API.

CrossoverOffice - apparently based on WINE

VMWare - virtual machine - requires purchasing VMWare, and the OS and app
licenses as well.
