[REBOL] Re: Missing native funcs

Hi John
I think that Core is upgraded with bug fixes and sometimes new features with
each product release. So that the version of Core in View 1.2 is more recent
than Core 2.5 and presumably the Core in Command 2.0 is updated from that in
View 1.2.
Also, sometimes functions that were meant to be in a release are
inadvertently omitted in the build and functions that were not meant to be
in a release are inadvertently included.
Perhaps someone from RT could comment on whether TO-LOCAL-FILE and
TO-REBOL-FILE are intended to be part of future Core releases.
The distinction between native functions (types: op! native! action!) and
mezzanines (type: function!) is not pertinent to the distinction between
Core and View or Command. Both View and Command include native functions not
present in Core (e.g. SHOW and HIDE in View). The View/Pro (and, when
available, Core/Pro) license unlocks additional natives in View or Core.

Subject: [REBOL] Missing native funcs
I have Rebol/Core 2.5.0.3.1 and Rebol/View/Pro 1.2.0.3.1 but there are a
few basic native functions in View that aren't in Core. How does that work?
to-local-file
to-rebol-file
I thought View 1.2 used Core 2.5 ?
