Clearcase Package
*****************

This is the XEmacs Clearcase Reference Manual, Version 1.00 (for XEmacs 21.1, 21.2), released 2001-12-09, by Adrian Aichner.

Clearcase Overview
******************

clearcase is a Configuration Management System of Rational Software Corporation written by Kevin Esler.

The clearcase package described here supports ClearCase version control from within the XEmacs editor.

 1. Make sure you're using Gnu Emacs-20.4 or XEmacs-21.1 or later.

     Make sure that you DON'T load old versions of vc-hooks.el which contain incompatible versions of the tq package (functions tq-enqueue and friends). In particular, Bill Sommerfeld's VC/CC integration has this problem.

 2. Insert this in your emacs startup file: (unless (noninteractive) (require 'clearcase))

When you begin editing in any view-context, a ClearCase menu will appear and ClearCase Minor Mode will be activated for you.

Clearcase Installation

You have following three choices to install clearcase (see Using Packages (xemacs)):

 1. Use the package GUI:

       * In XEmacs Release 21.1:

          Select a download site under

               Options->Manage Packages->Add Download Site

          and after listing available packages with

               Options->Manage Packages->List & Install

          install clearcase with

               Packages->Toggle install `clearcase'
               Packages->Install/Remove Selected

          followed by starting a fresh XEmacs.

       * In XEmacs Beta Release 21.2-bXX:

          Menus have been re-arranged in XEmacs 21.2.

          Select a download site under

               Tools->Packages->Add Download Site

          and after listing available packages with

               Tools->Packages->List and Install

          install clearcase with

               Packages->Toggle install `clearcase'
               Packages->Install/Remove Selected

          followed by starting a fresh XEmacs.

 2. Run XEmacs command

          M-x package-admin-add-binary-package RET CLEARCASE-PACKAGE-TARBALL-PATH

     after tarball download with EFS or ftp.

 3. Extract the clearcase tarball(s) into the xemacs-packages hierarchy from your favorite shell.

     bash, csh, ksh, zsh come to mind on UNIX systems; Cygwin's bash, cmd.exe, and command.exe for Windows 95/98/NT.

          cd INSTALLATION-DIRECTORY/xemacs-packages;
          gzip -dc CLEARCASE-PACKAGE-TARBALL-PATH | tar -xvf -
