[TERME Jean-Louis]

Hello.
I am a beginner with CVS. Tryin gto understand it I woul dbegin step by
step.
Environment: PC on Windows NT4.0 service pack 6, administrator rights.
WINCVS release 2.0.41a


1) After installation, I run the following commands in one DOS window, and I
obtain
the error message. CVSDIAG gives the following result.
