Surely you don't mean DOS? DOS doesn't exist in Windows any more
(unless
you are using an emulator like DosBox or a VM).
Do you mean a cmd.exe console window? (cmd.exe is a Windows
console-mode
program that, despite appearances, is not "DOS." DOS was a real-mode
single-tasking operating system.)

Yes, a cmd.exe console window.
Hardly the point :-) ...
But I think your problem may be that the Cygwin dlls need to be on the
search path,
and you're hoping that none of them have names that are the same as
ones earlier on
the path ...

I did try copying all of the .dll files in the Cygwin bin folder to the
same folder where the copy of Cygwin's tar.exe sits. That folder
appears first in the PATH. But despite that, trying to invoke tar from
the cmd window still pops up the window saying cyggcc_s-1.dll can't be
found.
