OS9 as a guest?

Just curious if anyone has gotten Mac OS 9 to run as a guest??

I've found a bunch of files that I want to convert but need to run some old software from the OS9 days. I would prefer to install a guest, install software and make file conversions instead of trying to find an old PPC that will run OS9.

Any suggestions on how to solve this dilema is appreciated.

Thanks.

No Problem. Buy the source code from apple and port it to Intel.
