I have used DOSBOX and Rbase for DOS and find only one significant problem - DOSBOX does not appear to support any printing functions. I could not get it to print anything. I think the DOSBOX folks created their emulator mostly for gaming where printing is not a factor.
So, yes you can use DOSBOX to run Rbase for DOS but check out the printing limitations first.
