Run dos command on NT4 from debian box?

[Rory Campbell-Lange <rory@campbell-lange.net>]

I'd like to put files in a directory on an NT4 box, run a dos command (a
CAD processor batch command) and then bring the files back to the Debian
box using cron, samba and perl.

I don't know anything about samba or performing commands on NT4 from
Linux. Any suggestions?
