Depends on what you're trying to do.  This is an example of me launching
'ALZip' from 'bash':

#echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/WINDOWS/system32:/WINDOWS:/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/Program 
Files/Intel/DMIX:/Program Files/ESTsoft/ALZip/:/Program Files/ATI 
Technologies/ATI.ACE/:/Program Files/Microsoft SQL 
Server/90/Tools/binn/:/Interix/common/:/Program 
Files/ESTsoft/ALZip/:/home/lhall/bin

#ls /Program\ Files/ESTsoft/ALZip/
ALBanner.dll    AZCTM.dll       Language/       unacev2.dll
ALTip.dll       AZCTM64.dll     Newzip.dat      unins000.dat
ALTip.ini       AZMain.dll      alupdate.exe    unins000.exe
ALZEXE.DAT      Az7z.dll        alupopt.dll     unrar4.dll
ALZip.exe       AzCDImage.dll   alzip.chm
ALZipIcon.dll   CrashRpt_D.dll  readme.txt

#ALZip
