I don't have dosbox running atm, so I cannot check whether it is so. 
When SCID* is installed, the installer should create a launcher to start 
with the SCID programs in it's %PATH%. This would facilitate tasks such 
as creating a SCID database from lots of PGN files.

cygwin is handy too, it includes programs to facilitate this sort of thing:

    lynx  -dump http://www.chess.co.uk/twic/twic/ | awk 
'/http:.*chesscenter.*zips\/twic[0-9]+g/ {print $2}' | sort -u | wget 
-i- -P /net/192.168.4.42/DataVolume/Public/Shared\ Documents/TWIC


which is enough to download all the The Week In Chess  PGN files and 
store them on my network storage device. One more command would load the 
lot into a SCID database.
