cvs tags

I have Googled this subject so much my head and fingers hurt.

How do I see tags in the cvs repo without installing other software 
(like Eclipse).

I want to see tagged code and tagged branches from the command line.

I have to check out some code from a specific legacy version and want to 
be able to do this myself / discover myself without having to walk 
across the building and ask someone that worked on the project three 
years ago.

I found a solution that would involve installing perl and running a perl 
script.  There has to be something built into cvs to do this and it is 
such a common thing to do, but is not in any intro to cvs that I can find.

I need to see separately tags that correspond only to code that was 
tagged, and full branches, whatever you call or refer to those as.

Even with other software / Eclipse plugins, I do  not believe those show 
me the difference in the tags that  need to see.
