The following will output the number of lines from filename.ext:
FC /n filename.ext nul |FIND /c ":"
If it's slow, try this other similar way:
FC /n filename.ext nul > %temp%.\$ FIND /c ":" %temp%.\$ del %temp%.\$

By the way, I don't know since which version of DOS the commands FC.exe and FIND.exe were avaliable, I'm not sure they're present on DOS 5.0, but I think they are.
