If you don't have the source code, the answer is almost certainly no. That
program will have been compiled for an HP, which uses a different processor
than pcs. HP compiled code won't run on a pc.

There are 3 possibilities that I know of:
1. WINE is free software that is currently under development. I believe
that it will now run a number of Windows programs, but that it is not
yet reliable.
2. dosemu provides a DOS environment under Linux; it may be possible to
run Windows within it. Again, dosemu is still under development.
3. There was recently announced a package developed by someone associated
with or taken over by Caldera (???) (Can anyone confirm that or be
more specific?)
I don't think that there is anything that will run Win95 or NT programs.
