Change to the directory containing the code you want to brach from (ex. use cvs co -r [tagname] to branch old tagged code).
Now you can add the branch by issuing the following command:

cvs tag -b [new branchname]

Finish changes to the working directory, then

cvs commit

Example branching at revision tag R1:

cvs -d /mnt/data/CVSHOME co -r R0_3_3 miav
cd miav
cvs tag -b stable_0_3
# do some changes in the code
cvs commit -m"Made a change in a branch"
