program run linux apps in DOS? if not are there any
programs for this?

It does not. However, if you are not actually using MSDOS,
but some relatively recent version of Windows, you might
investigate VMWare.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.

Which programs do you want to run in DOS? Quite a lot of terminal applications 
can be compiled using DJGPP (http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/). A lot of 
programs are already available for DJGPP.
For Windows there is a similar project: Cygwin (http://cygwin.com/). Cygwin 
can run nearly all Linux applications, assumed you can get the binary for 
Cygwin or the source code...
