I have a Mac G4 Powerbook running OSX. Is it possible to run The Bat!
on this machine with the help of some emulation software.
What about Wine?

Wine is fine, and is better and better. I just had tried out the other
day the version coming in Knoppix 5.0.1 (I have installed it on hard
disk for some other reasons) and TB runs much better then with previous
Wine version(s).
Installation consists of copying Bat's folder (and its Mail sub-folder
at the default place, otherwise will hardly work) in the
/.wine/fake_windows directorium (or in /.wine/fake_windows/Program
Files, if someone prefers), and then just typing in anywhere wine
thebat.exe. (The /fake_windows folder is the equivalent to the Windows'
C:\, the root folder of the drive C, for those who are puzzled what
we talk about.)
All other methods of installation are more complicated and less
successful.
And yes, prior to that, you have to export Bat's .reg file, and then to
import it via Wine into the fake Registry (wine regedit.exe), that is
if you want your settings and the rest (p)reserved.
And prior to that, yes, you have to run winetools, to make this fake
windows environment firstly (Start (the button) | Emulators |
Winetools). (-:
It will take few seconds more.

Knoppix is very easy to install on HD and takes about 20 minutes. You
just type in...
sudo ./knoppix-installer
...and it makes the whole system on HDD, entirely tweaked like on the
live CD, which means excellently.
Bestially stable and precise system (also very good looking), one of the
best done Linuxes around (despite the author's, Her Knopper's,
disclaimer that it is still in very experimental, therefore not of the
cell division, menstrual, lunar and so, phase).
