The tool you are after is WINE. It's not perfect, but it is very impressive. You should be able to install it through apt.
There is a board on this forum dedicated to it if you need help.
Let us know how you get on,

Your big problem is that you can't run code compiled for an x86 processor on a powerpc processor.
You could try qemu to emulate the required processor and then install wine on top of that, but you would need someone else's help there.

i started to work with qemu but then i got stuck, i downloaded it and i believe installed it. Now what, is there a guide? Note: it has to be a guide for my ppc not a x86 on an x86.
