I have a PowerBook G3 (the older version that is really a pumped-up 3400)
and I use Virtual PC to run FrontPage 98. It works fine--it's a bit slow,
but FrontPage is very processor intensive.
I think that installing Virtual PC just to run that one program on your Mac
would be a very good solution. It has worked very well for me. I do my
FrontPage work in Virtual PC and everything else in the MacOS. If you have
enough memory, you can even run windows at the same time as you're running
your other software.
One caveat: if it's not a PowerBook G3, I'm not sure about the performance.
If the windows program has low system requirements it might work well on an
older machine, but you want as powerful of a processor as you can get.
Backside cache is the really important thing, so if you have one of the
newer G3's with the 1 meg backside cache (250 or 292 MHz models) you're set.
