To test it out, I jus typed the last "cvs" command on my dos box

C:\Documents and Settings\KeeronMo\Desktop\cvsreport-0.3.4\cvsreport-0.3.4>cvs -d "f:\cvsrepo\cm" history
O 2003-10-23 07:18 +0000 keeronmo keeronmo =###_DIR_###= <remote>/*
O 2003-10-23 07:16 +0000 keeronmo keeronmo =keeronmo=    <remote>/*

This command is fine, it should generate a report for the past month
with no more than 10 changesets. This is called the 'client side' usage.

Please run the same command with the --debug flag added and send the
full log here.

This should produce the same result as the above command, however it
will use CVS remote invocation, which is slow (even if the server is
running on the same machine).

It's also fine, cvsreport has configuration defaults, in your case it
should print out the report in plain text format on the console.
