I have pcl-cvs working (at least partially, I haven't tested very much) in (version) "XEmacs 21.0 \"Poitou\" [Lucid] (i386-pc-win32) of Sat Oct 10 1998 on TWILIGHT" built natively on system-type windows-nt. I have set the following: cvs-shell "cmd.exe" shell-command-switch "/c" and get this PCL-CVS release R-2_0-Beta_2.
