I think you can still rename DOSBOX-X.EXE to something else (e.g. DB-X.EXE) and run it (e.g. DB-X) in DOS. I just tried it myself and it seemed to work. But unfortunately the file SHELL32.DLL was missing from the initial ZIP package for the DOSBox-X 0.83.6 DOS version. It was later discovered and fixed though.
