Hi,

feel free to look at the cvsgui sources ;) They are free!!!!
I can give some hints (the gcvs solution, but it works in the same way for
wincvs). The solution is to modify the STDIN/STDOUT and enviroment for the
cvs communication.

The code is in 'AppGlue.cpp' and 'cvsgui.c'. 'cvsgui/common/AppGlue.cpp' has
the special getenv code. You also have to take a look at
'cvsgui/common/cvsgui.c*

I hope it helps you
