Ok, for all those Wine hopefulls, here's some tips:

1.) Open terminal, run winesetup, configure wine, and when finished LEAVE TERMINAL WINDOW OPEN!!
2.) Run the command winefile from the terminal.
3.) Once winefile is opened use it to navigate to your program's directory, and double click program.

Doing this will greatly increase the odds of your windows program working correctly, I have found.

Wine is an emulator for windows programs.

when I run windows programs in wine, they seem small and cramped, how do you change that?

Experiment with the display options in winesetup until you find the one that works for you.

Please note when asking questions, that it is best to create your own new post as opposed to tagging your question to the end of someone else's post.
Assuming that you are running Knoppix 3.8.x
A Google search for: DOS program run on linux (http://www.google.com/search?q=dos+program+run+on+linux). One of the links is to DOSBox - A DOS Emulator http://users.netwit.net.au/~pursang/dosbox.html. So then I go to http://packages.debian.org and search for DOSbox under ANY (http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=dosbox&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all) and I discover that it is in debian. So to install DOSBox on Knoppix 3.8.x (assuming the network is properly configured & the machine can access the internet) is as simple running two commands:
apt-get update
apt-get install dosbox
The total download size is about 10MB.

I hope this helps.
