That's nonsense, DOSBox is still updated regularly. They just haven't had a binary RELEASE in years.
Here's a list of updates to their SVN: http://sourceforge.net/p/dosbox/code-0/3919/log/?path=
Or this if you prefer: http://source.dosbox.com/dosboxsvn.txt
To gt the latest version, you must checkout SVN and compile, or defer to shadier sources like EmuCR.
Agreed with others that there are some really cool patches which could stand to make it into baseline, but that's up to Qbix and company.
The wiki explains all of this: http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/SVN_Builds#SVN_changelog

As for "DOS emulator", there's really nothing out there other than dosemu for Linux. But if you expand your request to "PC emulator" (where you have to provide a disk image and a bootable operating system, BIOS ROMs, etc.) then you'll find a lot of neat projects, such as PCem, PCE, Bochs, and (of course) MESS. And you can always try virtual machines like Qemu, VirtualBox, VMWare, Virtual PC and see how you fare. ![](//www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif)
