In netuse.lists.phplib you write:

With WinCVS there is a version of the same command line
interface that is part of Unix. It would be very strange if
Win2000 breaks this, as it is a very simple and straightforward
program.

CVS is actually so simple it borders the primitive. I cannot see
any reason why one would need a GUI interface to it, unless you
want to browse the source tree for past versions and create
diffs and changelogs. Certainly you do not need a GUI for
day-to-day use of CVS, the rest is done better with cvsweb
anyway.

I suggest you try to CLI interface that is part of WinCVS and
skip the GUI completely. That CLI interface should work on
anything that can come up with a prompt.
