Yes, DOS batch files run just fine from bash *provided* bash is loaded
on top of command.com and not as a replacement for command.com. The
latter is desirable in many ways (one less M$ product gets involved)
but would require conversion of all DOS batch files to bash scripts
(IMHO worth it in the long run).
