  Not  in the sense that you can just take programs running on the Sun
and then run them on the Amiga.  If you have the C source code you can
re-compile  it (maybe) on the Amiga and then run it.  Of course, if it
takes  advantage  of  any of the Sun's specific goodies, then you will
have to do some rewriting of the software.

  There  is  no such thing, really, as a C program.  You could specify
that  a  a  program  was written in C, but since it gets compiled into
machine  language,  just  like  Pascal,  Modula-2, Forth, Fortran, Ada
etc.,  it's  almost  non-sequiter (sp?) to refer to it as a C program.

  Besides,  it's not the language that's blocking your use of programs
from  Sun on the Amiga, it's a different operating system and hardware
setup.

  So, to sum up - if you want to run Sun software at home, you'll have
to recompile it and perhaps re-write some of it.
