Running .exe files on mac

Apparently another application is needed for this - can someone point me in this direction?

Woooh... there are so many kinds of .exe files its a hard one...

If its a self extracting zip/rar you can use StuffIt, if its a proper Windows application you may need to use Crossover/Parallels/Fusion.

Can you be any more specific as to what the file is?

It's a small application, think it's an msdos application that opens in windows.

It won't work in OS X natively as the OS doesn't use/like executable files.

You will have to install Boot Camp , Parallels or VMWare Fusion to boot in to Windows.

if it's a dos program DOSBox could be a good bet.
