A very small proportion of software is distributed as .cab archives,
those you can execute on your device (make sure you make a copy of the
cab file before executing, as they generally delete themselves after
the install is complete). Unfortunately the chances of you finding
what you want as a cab file are pretty small.

However, I've occasionally had luck "unzipping" a desktop installer and
finding the cabs inside. I've used Resco Zipper to pull that off. (It
seems better at handling 'non-standard' archives better than Total
Commander, in my experience.)

It doesn't work for every PPC program, but works sometimes.

It's an old trick I learned a few years ago from a Mac owner who
obviously couldn't use his "PC" to run the Windows executables.
