To use it from the command line you need to use CVS_RSH (or CVS_SSH) not
CVS_EXT, as it's designed to be called from legacy clients therefore
expects the parameters that they send (which are in a fixed format).
You can use CVS_EXT but it's a little more complex...
Your options are
CVS_RSH="C:/Program Files/CVSNT/extnt.exe"
or
CVS_EXT="\"C:/Program Files/CVSNT/extnt.exe\" %h -l %u"
or
cvs -d ":ext;command='c:/Program Files/CVSNT/extnt.exe %h -l
%u':vcl134:/sw-aut
CVS_EXT overrides CVS_RSH and the command keyword in the cvsroot
overrides both of thse.
