No...  The programs that are written for NT systems are programmed differently and 
have requirements that Win 9X can't provide.

When you do find programs that can run on both, it's only because the installer can 
select the proper files and configure the software to run in either one.  When the 
software maker doesn't include the proper files and setup for either type of operating 
system, then you are may be able to run some Win 9X software through compatibility 
mode so that NT can simulate a Win9X environment.  Doing it the other way around 
is impossible for the most part as Win 9X hasn't the ability and the required system 
componants or the system construction to simulate a W2K/XP/Vista environment.
