there seems to be some confusion regrading your view's "view
tag". On UNIX, I can duplicate the error message by running (ct is shorthand for
cleartool):
ct lsstream -long -view notaviewtag

Cliff, please correct me if this summary is lacking. To wrap this
up:
On Win32, clearcase apparently maps views as
"//view/viewtag/foo/bar" _and_ _also_ as "m:/viewtag/foo/bar",
where "m:" is the clearcase.el default that needs to be
customized (clearcase-viewroot-drive) if the actual installation
uses a different drive letter.
Currently, we pretty much fail to do something sensible when
clearcase-viewroot-drive is not matching the actual clearcase
settings.

Hmmm. Not as far as I know. On Win32 (WinNT 4.0 and CC <= 4.0), I
believe clearcase maps mounted views under a drive letter (typically
"m:"). I don't think Win32 knows about "//view" -- is that a
Cygwin
thing?
My setup on Windows has been messed up for awhile and I don't need it
anymore, so it's hard for me to test this.

That should be a given. I don't suppose that (X)Emacs can get
information out of the Windows registry... :-\

Why not? Surely regedit can be coerced into giving information
noninteractively, if necessary by force-feeding it in a process
buffer.
There also must be Windows APIs for registry access, it shouldn't be
hard for Andy or Ben to hack in a registry lookup function, if they
aren't already there.

Do Windows-only programs behave that way? I don't see anything in the
regedit help for this.

There probably is a Windows API for this, but would using it in a
GPLed program violate some copyright? ;-)
Also, using it might "tie" the compilation of XEmacs to some Windows
library that may not always be available. There's probably a Cygwin
equivalent, but this too may not always be there.

No, Win32 programs use the registry API which is implemented in one of
the standard DLL's (I don't remember which one).

It's just another API that is part of the OS. No different from using
the OS's file access API or process API.
Also, using it might "tie" the compilation of XEmacs to
some Windows
library that may not always be available. There's probably a Cygwin
equivalent, but this too may not always be there.
The registry is so fundamental to the operation of Windows that the DLL
that implements its API should ALWAYS be present. Otherwise, every
other piece of software on the system would not function properly.

Cygwin version 20 used this nomenclature. Nowadays, they map
<letter>: onto /cygdrive/<letter>. They understand links (.lnk).
