I'm assuming you mean header.h and header2.h

You mean CVSROOT=Z:\ or CVSROOT=Z:\cvsroot\ ?

Basic steps:

export CVSROOT=Z:/cvsroot (or set CVSROOT=Z:/cvsroot for command.com)
cvs init
p:
cd \biblio
cvs import biblio foo bar
-> here 'foo' and 'bar' are two tags you can choose. Usually, you'd
-> use 'Initial' and 'FooSoft', where FooSoft is the name of your
-> company.
-> As log message, you'd probably use 'Initial checkin.'
cd ..
ren biblio biblio.precvs
cvs checkout biblio
-> At this point you should have a functioning sandbox.

To avoid the tagging that comes with importing, you could also do this:

export CVSROOT=Z:/cvsroot (or set CVSROOT=Z:/cvsroot for command.com)
cvs init
p:
md empty
cd empty
cvs import biblio foo bar
-> here you can just use foo & bar, as there are no files to tag here
cd ..
rd empty
cvs checkout biblio
cd biblio
cvs add source include
cd include
cvs add header.h header2.h
cd ..\source
cvs add source.cpp source2.cpp
cd ..
cvs commit
-> Use 'Initial checkin.' as log message

The latter method is slightly more manual work, but it causes your
files to start at revision 1.1 instead of 1.1.1.1 (which looks better)
and they won't have the unnecessary import tags.

If cvs itself reports any errors, let me know directly by email (I don't
read the NG that often. Make sure to include the version of CVS you're
using.
