svndumpfilter on win32

I am trying to use svndumpfilter to move seperate projects in a 
repository into their own respective repositories on a Windows 
platform.  The documentation says to pipe svndumpfilter through the cat 
command, but this isn't very useful on the Windows platform.  
 
First, I dumped the entire repository like this:
 
svnadmin dump repos > reposdumpfile
 
Next, I tried filtering project1 out of the dumpfile.  Here are the 
different ways I have tried:
 
type reposdumpfile | svndumpfilter include project1 > project1dumpfile
more reposdumpfile | svndumpfilter include project1 > project1dumpfile
print /D:CON reposdumpfile | svndumpfilter include project1 > project1dumpfile
 
I also have the cat program for DOS from unxutils.sourceforge.net
and have tried the following filters with it:
 
cat reposdumpfile | svndumpfilter include project1 > project1dumpfile
cat -A reposdumpfile | svndumpfilter include project1 > project1dumpfile
cat -B reposdumpfile | svndumpfilter include project1 > project1dumpfile
 
Whenever I get output after using the filter, only very small dumpfiles are 
generated.  After loading the dumpfile into a newly created repository, 
the new repository has all the revisions, but no data.  
Has anyone been successful in using the svndumpfilter on a Windows
platform?  If so, how?
 
Should this task be possible through the Subversion software only, without
having to pipe it through another command?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Floor
