Can I run Linux Programs in Windows?????

See, I've RHEL Pro WS on 30 GB partition ans Win XP Pro SP1a in 20 GB, rest of space are other partitions... in a 80 GB HDD

I can run sevral Windows Programs like in Linux using tools like WINE etc....

I just want to know can I do vice versa?

Lemme know any tool, if available...

Winaxe is a Xwindow server for MSWindows. It does not run Linux programs

Install Cygwin on Windows to compile and run Linux applications

Not normally.
Cygwin can run a few apps - but don't expect great results.....
