GndRsh# cvs export -H
Usage: cvs export [-NPfln] [-r rev | -D date] [-d dir] [-k kopt] module...
^____ well, HUMM.... BOGUS as shown below!!
-N Don't shorten module paths if -d specified.
-f Force a head revision match if tag/date not found.
-l Local directory only, not recursive
-n Do not run module program (if any).
-r rev Check out revision or tag.
-D date Check out revisions as of date.
-d dir Check out into dir instead of module name.
-k kopt Use RCS kopt -k option on checkout.
