Right, it does so on mine as well.

The equivalent to my former batch file (show only changed files)
would indeed be
cvs status -q | grep -v Up-to-date

If you don't have a grep, you can as well use Windows' find program:

cvs status -q | find /V "Up-to-date"

but don't forget the quotes!
If you are not interested in the "... Examining ..." messaages, use

cvs status -q 2>NUL | find /V "Up-to-date"
