Surely you don't mean DOS? DOS doesn't exist in Windows any more (unless
you are using an emulator like DosBox or a VM).

Do you mean a cmd.exe console window? (cmd.exe is a Windows console-mode
program that, despite appearances, is not "DOS." DOS was a real-mode
single-tasking operating system.)

Yes, a cmd.exe console window.

Hardly the point :-) ...

But I think your problem may be that the Cygwin dlls need to be on the search 
path,
and you're hoping that none of them have names that are the same as ones 
earlier on
the path ...
