Go to http://www.digital.com/amt/fx32/index.html and look around. I run FX!32
on my Cabriolet 275Mhz. Not all Intel programs will work however. Check out
the supported software list. The CDrom is like $8 bucks plus shipping or it's
free via download.

I think some of the software you mentioned is available as a native Alpha
port ..either MS Visual Basic or their C++...I forget.

Also check out www.alphant.com and you will find stuff native to AlphaOEM
there.
