There is now. Download and apply the following patch to 3.1.5 on both
Linux and Solaris machines:
ftp://ftp.ccsf.org/htdig-patches/3.1.5/htdump-htload.0
Then, after running htdig on Linux, you can run htdump (a symlink to
htdig), or just run htdig initially with the -t option. Either way
will produce a db.docs file in your database_dir, which is an ASCII
representation of db.docdb. Then, copy db.docs and db.wordlist over to
the Solaris system, in your database_dir there, and run htload (also a
symlink to htdig), and finally htmerge to get all the binary databases
built from the two ASCII files.
