Yet another possible solution might be a product called SoftWindows (SoftWindows 2.0 for PowerMac), which seems to be an emulator for DOS/Windows programs. That would make Scala run a lot slower of course, but for the majority of the commands that is not a problem. It might be needed to play with the memory settings since not all of the available memory is made available to DOS by SoftWindows.
