to enable compatibility w/ the new system, we recently upgraded our server to win2000, the problem is the cpu/memory usage gets high once the old DOS system run, how do i get rid w/ this, how do work w/ DOS under win2000.

This isn't so much a Windows 2000 problem as it is a DOS program. There is no DOS in Windows 2000 but it may be able to emulate DOS enough for your program to run. It's really a problem with old code. Your best option would be to get an updated version of the software that is currently running in DOS mode if possible.
