OMDR_EXP(1)                      RPN UTILITY                       OMDR_EXP(1)
NAME
       omdr_exp - obtain a working copy of  a source file at a given  revision
number.

USAGE
       omdr_exp file  rev

DESCRIPTION
        omdr_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 file is retrieved at the revision
level specified by rev.  The RCS master directories are searched in the  order
given by the RCSPATH environment variable.

        The files obtained via omdr_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 a file, you need only give its name and the
revision number:

        omdr_exp aaa.cdk 2.1

        omdr_exp bbb.ftn 3

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