Hm, you're listed in the project members list so I think you should be
okay. (Side note: a Mike Dill is listed as project manager. Who is he?)

If you checked the files out anonymously, you may have to check
everything out again with your username in a new working directory.

I'm afraid I can't give any WinCVS-specific advice; on my Windows 2000
box, I use Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) to give myself a comfy
Unix-like environment, and use the command-line CVS client that you can
install with that.

(Hopefully this message will make it; I'm having terrible SMTP problems
today.)
