Is there a solution for my idea ?

As I am already familiar with Microsoft Word on IBM-PC Compatibles and the MacIntosh-Machines,
I would like to continue to use these skills for wordprocessing also on the Sun3-Workstation
that is now at my disposal. Therefore my questions:

1. Does there exist a version of MS-Word running under the Sun Microsystems OS 3.5 or 4.1 ?

2. Do you know a MS-Dos or Mac-shell/emulation cooperating with the SunOS (or even X-Windows)
   on which I could run the respective version in a way, that the (PostScript)Output could be
   sent to network-Laserprinter ?

3. Are there other solutions ?

I am interested in every suggestion.

Thanks
