I don't think so. But there is a great project called "Mac-on-Linux"
that runs the Mac OS (Mac OS 8.6 up to and including Mac OS X) in
Linux. The Web site says, "MOL is not an emulator but runs runs the OS
directly without any CPU emulation."
<http://www.maconlinux.org/>
Using MOL you can run almost any Macintosh program that doesn't try to
hit the hardware directly (for instance, some Control Panels don't
work). BBEdit and Microsoft Word run particularly well in MOL under Mac
OS 9.1. And, MOL should already be part of your YDL install. If you can
find Mac alternatives to your Windows programs, you are in business.
Best wishes,
Clint
