That depends on what type of unix. You didn't say what you have.
For example, with SCO Unix, you use a product called SCO Merge to run windows applications.

Can can run any Windows application under any ver of unix, It's a matter of finding the right software. Often, the software isn't free though. And sometimes it even involves installing Windows on your hard drive.
