Pros
Works exactly like it says it will!
Cons
Some MSDOS commands not available.
Summary
I may be the only (?) non-gaming user of this product, but it sure was a lifesaver for me in being able to continue using an old DOS accounting program, that I wrote in 1985 that I have used continuously since. But alas, there was no way to run it from the command line on my new 64-bit Windows 7 computer . Dosbox really saved my bacon. Runs my old program fine after some changes were made to the program. Happily, I was able to edit the program using DOS Turbo Pascal, which runs perfectly in Dosbox!
This is a nice tool

Cons
If ou don't like command line Interface, i's not for you.
Summary
If you want to emulate a DOS shell, this is one of the better ones

Developer’s Description

By PortableApps

Take this classic DOS games to go.

DOSBox Portable emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, modem, etc., necessary for running many old DOS games that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems. While not restricted to games, the emphasis has been on getting DOS games to run smoothly, which means that communication, networking and printer support are still in early developement.
