First, you must test with the latest version from the CVS area:

Project Sources:

I recommend Tortoise CVS as the easiest to use Windows CVS client, from
http://www.tortoisecvs.org
You will need to enter the CVS path (all on one line, including the
leading colon:

:pserver:anonymous@cvs.open-dbexpress.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/open-dbexpres
s

or

Example of loading/updating of the project from CVS by means of a batch
file. For work it is necessary to edit a path to cvs.exe.

load_cvs_dbxoodbc.bat
==============================================================@echo off
set path=C:\Program Files\GNU\WinCvs 1.3\CVSNT;%path%
rem set path=D:\CygWin\bin;%path%
echo **********************************************
echo - When prompted for a password for anonymous,
echo simply press the Enter key.
echo **********************************************
set cvsproj=cvs-pserver.sourceforge.net:80/cvsroot/open-dbexpress
echo on
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@%cvsproj% login
