My knowledge of DOS systems approximates zero, but is it also possible
to do this by changing your PATH variable? So you have:

c:\gzip\compress.exe	(A copy of \waffle\bin\gzip.exe)
c:\comp\compres.exe	(A copy of comp16.exe)

Then at appropriate spots in your script:

	PATH=c:\gzip .....
and
	PATH=c:\comp ...

If this sort of thing works it saves on copying the .exe files over
the top of each other all the time. I guess it depends on whether
batch used $PATH or knows a hard-coded location.
