As for the problem with bash, you don't have a `.' in your PATH
variable so that it doesn't search your current directory.  Therefore,
you need to include a `./' in front of the command, ie: ./a

As for the problem with DOS, it is likely you have an error that is
occuring before it gets to the prompt.
