    tx Florian,
    Just another clearification.
    If i give -login option in setview then which dot file it executes ?
    .profile, .login or .alias ??
    my concern is that we use another script to setview, which wraps the
    "cleartool setview" command. This is done to set another environment,
    which is different from our local environment. Meaning that this
    script avoids local .profile and setup different environment.

    So i just want to execute .alias file and certainly not the .profile.

    tx
