That has not been my experience. I am developing on a Mac, and to
build my database, I am using a line just like yours above:
mReadDbStructure(gDB, "LITERAL", field "DBStruct")
exactly out of the V12 manual. It works fine on my mac and my PC
(just tried it). I don't know about both trying to read from a
file, but it certainly does work cross-platform reading the database
structure from a field.
If this doesn't work for you, perhaps you should contact Integration
New Media, or join the V12-L list and ask about it there.
