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.
