RE: export command help

[Dale . Miller]

Tom,

If you do not have any release tags you can still export using
the HEAD version of each file

   cvs export -rHEAD MODULE-NAME

or use the -D date to export what the repository contained as
of a giving date.  

   cvs export -D "22 May 2002 12:00" MODULE-NAME

There are many formats of acceptable dates.
