I have the sandbox on my own XP workstation and I have a CVSNT server
also on this machine. It is the one I check new stuff on normally so
it has the bleeding edge CVSNT (currently 2244). So that is the cvs
client being used. From WinCvs command window:

cvs ver
***** CVS exited normally with code 0 *****
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2244
(client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2244
(client/server)
