This mail went through. Anyway, the mail server often needs some time to
deliver messages, thus, I am Cc:ing to you directly.

Well, I never use cvs directly from the CMD.EXE prompt, but always from
inside of Cygwin (and it would need some modifications here to be able
to access it directly).

Anyway, just a wild guess because of your message:

Do you have the right to create directories on C:\? This might be a
permission problem.
