OMD_EXP(1)                       RPN UTILITY                        OMD_EXP(1)
NAME
       omd_exp - obtain working copies of source files.

USAGE
       omd_exp file ...

DESCRIPTION
        omd_exp is a command of  the etagere system (environnement de  travail
automatise de gestion d'experiences avec RCS)  used to extract a working  copy
of a  file   from a  RCS master  directory.   The RCS  master directories  are
searched in the order given by the RCSPATH environment variable.

        The files obtained via omd_exp are writeable by the user.   Therefore,
frm_exp will include them in the list of  files to save in the local RCS  sub-
directory when closing an experiment.

EXAMPLE
       To obtain a working copy of one or more files, you need only give their
names:

        omd_exp aaa.cdk bbb.cdk ccc.cdk ddd.ftn

        omd_exp will  first  try  to  extract  the  file  from  the local  RCS
sub-directory and,  if necessary,  will  then search  the various  RCS  master
directories given by RCSPATH.  The search ends as soon as the file is found.

        NOTE: omd_exp considers that a file has been found if the version
                extracted from the RCS file is non-empty.
