Not at all!  Recovering a catalog across platforms is not supported and 
actually will *not* work.  Line terminations are different between the 
two platforms and you will have unusable files after the recovery.

We did a migration from Windows to Solaris back on 3.4 and it was a 
major effort with some binary file editing.  This is not for the faint 
of heart and things have changed a fair bit since we did our migration.

Contact Symantec Professional Services if you really want to do this.
