It's all repository aliases not not prefixes - the old /x// system is 
pretty obsolete.

Do you know enough about VMS & have enough time to attempt a CVSNT port?

You should be able to set an alias of /w//cvs-repository so your 
existing sandboxes will work.  Also add one of /cvs-repository or 
something similar to migrate sandboxes to something more standard over time.
