After a bit of self-education on the CVS FAQ, I've come to the conclusion that "renaming" (delete/add) PLATFORMS to PLATFORMS.txt is the best way to solve this.
Am I right or wrong? Let those with greater knowledge speak...

Same problem even if I do a new check out.
cvs [checkout aborted]: could not chdir to parrot/platforms: Not a directory
There is no local platforms directory, yet CVS wants to go to it, so I assume the problem is coming from the server end.
There is still a platforms directory on the server.

Please help me fill out the blanks by sending or committing patches.Earlier today you popped a new file in CVS called PLATFORMS. Unfortunately,
Please make sure to have the latest and best Parrot from CVS.
there is also a directory there called platforms.
I don't have a directory named platforms in parrot root. You seem to be
missing the -P switch to cvs update.
$ find . -name platforms $ find . -iname platforms ./PLATFORMS
