DOSBox-X is an open-source DOS emulator for running DOS games and applications.
DOS-based Windows such as Windows 3.x and Windows 9x are officially supported.
Compared to DOSBox, DOSBox-X is much more flexible and provides more features.
DOSBox-X emulates a PC necessary for running many DOS games and applications that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems, similar to DOSBox. However, while the main focus of DOSBox is for running DOS games, DOSBox-X goes much further than this. Started as a fork of the DOSBox project, it retains compatibility with the wide base of DOS games and DOS gaming DOSBox was designed for. But it is also a platform for running DOS applications, including emulating the environments to run Windows 3.x, 9x and ME and software written for those versions of Windows. By adding official support for Windows 95, 98, and ME emulation and acceleration, we hope that those old Windows games and applications could be enjoyed or used once more. Moreover, DOSBox-X adds support for emulating the NEC PC-98 such that you can also play PC-98 games with it.
DOSBox-X emulates a legacy IBM PC and DOS environment, and has many emulation options which you can find documented on the DOSBox-X website.

I have used regular DOSBox for many years for a family members DOS based business application, but I could only ever get it to run on a windows OS, and needed to map an F: as the application was either stand alone, or netowrked with multiple PC's accessing it. I have never been successful until NOW, as this program required files and buffers modifications, to get it to work properly. THIS APP BLEW MY MIND!!! It a few simple steps, I was EASILY able to get this working on Linux! Specifically my new favorite OS, LinuxMint (lmde specifically) FREAKING AWESOME!!!
