>Is there a way to execute DOS batch files from the bash shell? 

On NT you can do

bash$ cmd /c foo.bat

but on 95 you have to use command.com, which is a DOS program, which
bash won't handle very well.

You could get an "alternative" command processor, such as 4NT, or even a
native port of bash, and do:

bash$ 4nt /c foo.bat

or

bash$ native-sh command /c foo.bat

Convoluted, but it might just work... YMMV.
