With the WinCVS I installed the CVSNT 2.5.03 too in my machine. It 
should be using it to perform the commands, isn´t it?

WinCVS is only an interface to make it ease to use the CVS commands, 
isn´t it?

When I need to run commands that are not supported at the WinCVS 
interface, like the rename, I just open the command line dialog and use 
it. By this I presume I´m using the correct client. Look at the output 
of the cvs version command:

cvs version
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2260 
(client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.03 (Scorpio) Build 2260 
(client/server)
