Any chance of adding a switch to the vos exam command
so that if you do something like

vos exam my.vol -sync -cell pictage -local

you get the old behavior, and without the -sync
you get the new behavior? If I issue the 10
vos release commands, it will have to sync
anyway, and apparently do a lot more stuff.
Since I'm interested in the Last Update
field, it would be helpful to have a way to
make sure it's accurate. For the times when
I don't care, of course the new behavior is
preferable.

Just a thought.

Not a bad idea, since the client application decides which call it uses.

As Jeff mentioned, it's inaccurate for about 25 min.
So, this matters just for 25 minutes, than your tools would probably work as before.
