Crossover is a non-free version of Wine and works a bit better. (That's
an over simplification, but gives you the idea). 

You are allowed a 30 or 60 day free trial. Every so often I see if it's
ready to run two applications that I need for work, but so far, no luck.
:)

It's improving though. I was able to install one of them--it just didn't
run.  

It costs around 60 dollars or so I think, I'm too lazy to look right
this second--for me, if it could run these two applications it'd be
worth it.
