I'm familiar with the pcnix unix-like utilities for MS-DOS, but to my knowledge, these utilities do not include a 'head' or 'tail'. Where might one find something like this? I've checked filutls on simtel and didn't find anything.

You might also try the MS-DOS port of GNU file utilities, which may be
found in file futil14.zoo in any GNUdos archive. Ported GNU file
utilities are: CAT, CHMOD, CMP, CP, CUT, DD, HEAD, LS/DIR/VDIR, MKDIR,
MV, PASTE, RMDIR, TAC, TAIL, TOUCH and RM. These are (more than :-)
full fledge implementations of their UNIX counterparts, as long as
MS-DOS permits!
The collection of programs known as the GNUish MS-DOS project is
available for ftp at the following addresses:
vulcan.phyast.pitt.edu [130.49.33.16], in pub/pc/gnudos.
ocf.berkeley.edu [128.32.184.254], in pub/GNU/gnuish-msdos.
wsmr-simtel20.army.mil [26.2.0.74], in pd2:<msdos2.gnuish>.
funic.funet.fi [128.214.6.100], in pub/msdos/gnudos.
Thorsten Ohl <td12@ddagsi3.bitnet> made most of the ports, and
moderates the project.
