You say it. DosBox should do the job. Could have figured it out yourself, too.

DOS4GW is an auxiliary program though, it's present in many games but it never starts the game, rather it's run by the game.

You might want to check out the official DosBox FAQ, and particularly this part of it. It is quite helpful for users unfamiliar with DosBox.

I suggest you also read the pages about command line, internal programs (very important!) and the config file.

If that stuff is a bit too much for you, you might consider using one of the multiple frontend programs available.

It's all easier then it seems. So remember:
DON'T PANIC!!!
