Thanks to everyone for their feedback. I'm limited to the solutions that 
will work for me because of the circumstances. I am trying to use the dos 
program by calling it from a Widget (see http://konfabulator.com). The 
widget can access dos programs through a function that invokes a unix shell. 
The problem occurs because the working directory for a widget is very far 
down a chain of directories, and is not changable.

I have a work around that is not very pleasant. By placing the dos 
executable in the users root directory, I can work a call that can use it. 
This solution creeps me out, because it looks so much like a virus at work.
