I have a program on my 10.3 desktop that I is a program for my Palm PDA. However, it downloads as a .exe and that's the only available format. Is there anyway I can open it in 10.3 and install it on my Palm. Its a program intended for Palm installation????

Is this the new Gamebox Solitaire for PalmOS? If it is in .exe format there is no way to install it on the Mac that I am aware of. The .exe is strictly a PC executable file. If anyone knows differently, please comment!

Drag the file to Stuffit Expander (it's just a self extracting archive), and it will unpack the folder. Then install the *.prc files normally.
This should work, unless the developers overly complicated the install process such that you really need to run their install.exe (eg. if you can't figure out all the right dependent files and such).
