    this software, which is built into OSX, should be able to run any software that was designed for the PPC Macs on the new Intel Macs.

    doesn't OSX provide a "Classic" mode for older software?
    also, are you trying to run older 68k Mac apps?

    EDIT: Sorry I didn't read your question properly. The only way to run classic apps on an Intel Mac is to use an emulator;

    there is no native support in Mac OS for classic software anymore.

    This is a round-about way of doing what you want to do.
