RE: cvs command not available

Also note that the cygwin install does not, by default, set your PATH
variable to include its own binaries. Once cvs is installed, you will need
to add your cygwin binary directory to your PATH variable. You can do this
from Control Panel (System | Advanced | Environment Variables, if I recall
correctly), or run the following from a DOS command-line (not bash): set
PATH=%PATH%;c:\cygwin\bin (or wherever you installed cygwin).

First,  you need to learn some operating system basics. "Command not found"
means that the operating system (in this case, a Cygwin shell operating
under Windows) does not understand the command "cvs".

When you installed Cygwin, you did not install CVS. Re-run the Cygwin setup,
and make sure you have selected CVS (it's under the "Devel" tree, IIRC).
