REBOL/Command words
[1/6] from: coussement::c::itc::mil::be at: 29-Nov-2000 9:19
I recently bought REBOL/Command for professional purpose...
I thought this version was based on the latest Core release as announced by
RT itself :
Command is a new addition to the REBOL product family that
extends the
features of REBOL/Core" by integrating access to operating system specific
functionality such as dynamically loadable libraries, shell commands and
applications, and various database data sources." on
http://www.rebol.com/command.html
But ...
REBOL/Core 2.3.0.3.1
>> help decode-cgi-query
USAGE:
DECODE-CGI-QUERY args
DESCRIPTION:
Converts CGI argument string to a list of words and value strings.
DECODE-CGI-QUERY is a function value.
ARGUMENTS:
args -- Starts at first argument word (Type: any-string)
And ...
REBOL/Command 1.0.0.3.1
>> help decode-cgi-query
No information on decode-cgi-query (word has no value)
I feel bad about it, because I've now to reengineer some features of my
project to deal with this problem !
Any particular reason for this ? I hope that RT does not work with an unfair
marketing strategy ! It should damage the perfection of REBOL...
It should be great could RT answer on this.
Regards,
Christophe

I'm using 2.4.39.3.1 and there is no decode-cgi-query.
Are you sure it's not a mezzanine (sp) function?
Try
source decode-cgi-query
and define it yourself.

Graham:
You did me make thinking about another possibility : what if RT simply
renamed the func ?
I tried :
REBOL/Command 1.0.0.3.1
>> help decode-cgi
USAGE:
DECODE-CGI args
DESCRIPTION:
Converts CGI argument string to a list of words and value strings.
DECODE-CGI is a function value.
ARGUMENTS:
args -- Starts at first argument word (Type: any-string)
And found it back !
Thanks for bringing on the path of the truth !
BTW, my appologizes to RT because I mentionned something about "unfair
marketing strategy". I was wrong ! ( :-/ )

RT is probably mostly full time on REBOL/Express nowadays. Although I wonder the
same, it seems to be the result of my complaints, that only one version of
REBOL/Core should exist, and /Command components should be just some kind of
libraries
. It will probably happen, just give them the time and don't give up
....
Cheers,

Have you tried
> help decode-cgi
There seems to be some inconsistency between different versions

I ran into this exact problem
it seems Rebtech deprecated decode-cgi-query.
The reason is that decode-cgi did the same thing as decode-cgi-query.
I just wish they would have told us......
