[svn-r2642] Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
The documentation on how to dump attribute data was not complete
enough. Some people got confused on the commandline syntax (you
have to specify the "path" from the root group to the attribute
to dump it). I put some examples in to show how to correctly dump
attributes.
Platforms tested:
Viewed with Netscrape.
