Rogier, please note RFC 1855[1] , section 2.1.1, item 12 (if I counted
correctly)
  "Remember that people with whom you communicate are located across the
globe. If you send a message to which you want an immediate response, the
person receiving it might be at home asleep when it arrives. Give them a
chance to wake up, come to work, and login before assuming the mail didn't
arrive or that they don't care."

also from "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way", 
"If You Can't Get An Answer"[2]
"In general, simply re-posting your question is a bad idea. This will be
seen as pointlessly annoying."

1) you are asking on the wrong list, all the commands you are talking about
are specific to CVSNT (AFAIK they are not integrated in the cvshome feature
branch), and you would get better results asking on the cvsnt list. 
There should be a link their mailing list on 
http://www.cvsnt.com
