In a pure Windows NT environment, the CVS page says

The second way is known as "local" or
"non-client/server" CVS. This lets you run CVS if you have only
Windows machines. However, due to issues (a) with local CVS on Windows,
and (b) with the suitability of Windows as a server operating system in
general, we would generally recommend this more to try out CVS and get a
feel for it rather than for production use

and this tracks with my attempts to use it.  I've tried twice,
and both times failed to get the CVS system to be stable.  Given
that, I'm a little skeptical of CVS in the NT environment.

RCS, OTH, seems to work fine.

I would *strongly* encourage you to look at CVS instead of RCS. 
MUCH better

is so many ways... (and CVS evolved out of the work on RCS but uses a
merging

versus locking model)

and specifically:

where there are instructions for that other operating system.
