If you have installed winCVS (I have v1.3), you can use <wincvs
installdir>\CVSNT\cvs.exe.

Note: if you have problems with cvsNT, please post questions to the

set CVSRSH to something like this:
"C:\tools\Putty\plink.exe" -ssh -pw "mypassword"

The env var CVSRSH is the rsh command that cvs ext: is to run.
