You tried running it in a DOS emulator, and it didn't work?
There must be a dozen ways to skin that cat. VMware Fusion?
DOS in a VMware Player?
How does one run old Macintosh software under VMware?
Ah, I'm sorry... I missed the "for Mac" on that original post.
There are 680x0 emulators, right? But no good PowerPC emulators?

I'd question the existence of *GOOD* 68k Mac emulators. I need
something that will run on a current Mac. I've even gone so far as
to research what I can run under WinXP running under Parallels
Desktop on my Mac.
Reading Word Perfect 4.2 data files counts as a "nice to have", I can
always scrape the raw data out of the documents. Having access to
ClarisDraw (reading, editing, and printing) is far more important.
