Since my original questions starts with "without having to rewrite them as shell scripts" and you replied with "Rewrite them in any real scripting language (shell, perl)." then I must conclude that there is no way to run my DOS/Windows batch files in Linux then? Is this correct? Either that, or you you missed the part of my original post where I said I wanted to run the file as is rather than port it to a scripting language?
