Yes, you can use "start" but it is not strictly a background process, but rather another foreground process (in its own window usually). And the real problems start then because CVSNT still has a lock on the files until it finishes running and the "start"ed program will not wait for the lock to release (there is no "sleep" command in NT). There are ways to get around it, but NT is not *nix (even when running Cygwin).
