Have a look at wine. It lets you run windows programs with varying
success under Linux.
Ultimately you can try VMWare. This will cost you an arm and a leg
though.

Wine might do it, depending on the application.

Otherwise, VMWare can run virtually ANY windoze package - Windoze
actually runs in a window on your desktop.  However, VMWare eats RAM for
breakfast (out of necessity), and would set you back $99.

if that programms donĀ“t do any critical hadware access I think you can user WINE, if 
your computer is fast enougt, you can use vmware2.0, its
really good !

An arm AND a leg for $99?? What a deal!! Where can I get that?

You can use Wine. But I have never tried.
