Here's how I do it with my version of viewer.bat:

VIEWER.BAT

; VC driver
; Arachne expects it's cfg file in the cwd so we need to save the
; current one, change to the Arachne dir and run it from there and
; finally return to the original cwd

ppd push
d:
cd \arachne
core.exe %1
ppd pop

Ppd is just a directory pusher/popper and there are several others.
