Hi Aichner, I will make sure I copy XEmacs Beta List. The command below (with my filename) seems to display something when I removed the 2nd double quote (the one after "Rf"). Otherwise, I get an "unmatched ". " message. cleartool desc -fmt "%m%f%Rf"%Sn%PSn%On%u%Nd%[slink_text]p\n%c" /asc/your_file.v Here's the text from doing the bug report: ================================================================ Dear Bug Team!

I use both pcl-cvs and clearcase on a couple windows machines, with no trouble. To unload the 'vc feature, use (unload-feature 'vc t) but it's hardly the right thing to do.
