Clearcase does not use UML - nor UML laden bloatware AFAICT. Perhaps 
you're thinking of Rational Rose. The "non-standard filing system" you 
refer to is call MVFS and it's for MultiVersion File System and only 
used if you use dynamic views. You can use snapshot views where not MVFS 
is involved. MVFS is a good idea if used correctly IMHO. Clearcase is 
indeed a complex system and is not for everybody but it does indeed have 
it's place.

Marc, in general, the problem is that cleartool is written for Windows 
thus uses /dev/conout and anything that employees a pty will swallow 
your prompt as Windows just doesn't understand ptys. This includes 
things like xterm, rxvt, and even Cygwin console windows if you've 
ssh'ed somewhere. I do recall using a piece of Windows freeware I 
believe called Terminal which worked well with Cygwin and ptys by 
apparently doing all the I/O in the background the Windows way and 
presenting it to Terminal properly. If you need I could ask a friend 
what that software is as I don't have access to it anymore.

Big Bang is just a theory, while God is just a baseless claim.
