Import and Export are available under DOS so it should be possible to get them to work from Windows. I think they were supplied with the server software rather than with the dos toolset.

The other option would be to use the PCs to start imp/exp on the server. I used to do this kind of thing using PC/TCP but I'm working somewhere else now so dont have any scripts to hand. I might have some in my file so let me know if you want me to look.

Hope this is some help.
