Has anyone duplicated the "cvs export" functionality in perforce? (i.e just dump files from the repository ). I wrote a little app using the perforce API and the "print" command which basically emulates this functionality-- does anyone know of a better way of doing this?

How about just setup a client workspace spec for the purpose, then just do 'p4 sync -f' to get the latest files in the workspace? Isn't that about the same thing (except that you need a client spec for each directory tree that is to receive the exported files at the same time because of the "Root" item in a client spec).
