Fist when visiting a file under version control
the modeline tells me: RCS.130.


Then C-x v l tells  me not defined.
Using vc-print-log gives me a *vc* buffer starting:

,----
| RCS file: /home/oub/xemacs/init/xemacs_init.el,v
| Working file: xemacs_init.el
| head: 1.130
| branch:
| locks: strict
| 	oub: 1.130
| access list:
| symbolic names:
| keyword substitution: kv
| total revisions: 130;	selected revisions: 130
| description:
`----


   > On the command-line, what does
   > rlog FILE
   > report?

Gives me practically the same result
that is 
rlog FILE > log

Generates a file almost identically to the *vc* buffer generated by
vc-print-log command.

STEP two  co -pREV FILE

I try 

 co -p1 xemacs_init.el > version1

And the file generated seems very much correspond the first revision
of that file.

I repeat the step for REV=2,3,4
and get a corresponding  result. 

Now when REV=5 I obtain
co -p5 xemacs_init.el > version5
xemacs_init.el,v  -->  standard output
co: xemacs_init.el,v: revision 5 absent

That happens for REV>=5

(Ok I did not try all numbers but a fair amount of it.)

Now to erevisons:

I chose rev1= xemacs_init latest revisions
and     rev2= xemacs_init current state,

That that seems to work: a new buffer xemacs_init.~1.130~ is
generated. However when I 
chose 

Rev1 = xemacs_init 120
rev2 = xemacs_init 110
I obtain the following bug trace, which is consistent with the earlier
behaviour of co, namely
co -p120 xemacs_init > version120
xemacs_init.el,v  -->  standard output
co: xemacs_init.el,v: revision 120 absent

co -p110 xemacs_init > version110
xemacs_init.el,v  -->  standard output
co: xemacs_init.el,v: revision 110 absent
