WinCvs is a *client* for CVS.  So WinCvs wouldn't have instructions for 
setting up repositories.  Many people are now using CvsNT as a server 
since it is actively developed; indeed, WinCvs ships with CvsNT for 
client communications with the server.

If you go to the CvsNT wiki site http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki, you'll see 
links for documentation.  Start with the InstallationTips.
