I prefer DOSBox-X to DOSBox because it's easier to run; but it sounds like neither one is what you want.
Have you heard of or tried "MS-DOS Player"? It seems to convert binaries into a format that Windows can understand. I think you have to do it on a per-file basis so it might be more of a headache than it's worth; but it's out there!

[edit]There's also winevdm which can run 16 bit windows binaries on 64 bit windows. It has DOS support but it's incomplete and it points back to MS-DOS player in it's readme...
