If you only install wincvs then the directory
c:\eqemu\cvs
will not access the cvs program. You must use the directory
c:\eqemu\cvs\wincvs\cvsnt
However i found it was much easyer to just download python at
www.python.org and install it along with wincvs and enter the correct info into wincvs and let the windows version download the files for me without having to type in the 2 long command lines.
Once you have both wincvs and python installed just click on remote tab and choose checkout module.

Checkout settings tab
In the Module name and path on the server enter
eqemu

In the local folder to checkout to enter
c:\

Checkout options tab
check the Force using the current CVSROOT (-d)

General tab
in Authentication enter
pserver

in path enter
/cvsroot/eqemu

in host address enter
cvs.sourceforge.net

in username enter
anonymous

leave all other settings default and click ok and the filles will be downloaded into the c:\eqemu directory.
you may have to try several times if the server is busy but you only have to re-enter part of the info after the 1st time making it a lot easier to use.
