Many commercial Palm OS apps were distributed as Windows .exe files.
Mostly, all you have to do is double click the .exe file in Windows and it unpacks the .prc or .pdb files and engages the Palm Hotsync application.

You can still do this with the archimedes_palmwin.exe file, but instead of Hotsyncing it, just manually copy the .prc/.pdb files to your memory card and then install them one at a time to your Garnet VM.

There are also Android versions of these as well but I don't know how to install them since I'm still enjoying my N800.
