The documentation for PCSIM is pretty extensive on how to set it up to run DOS
applications.  To begin with you will need to start pcsim with a DOS diskette
in the diskette drive using:  pcsim -A 3

You should also have TOUCHED a file prior to starting the pcsim so that you
can emulate a hard disk.  To do that execute the following commands:
                    touch filename
                    pcsim -A 3 -C filename

Then its just like you have a brand new AT.  You have to format the C drive,
copy DOS over to it, etc.  The documentation is better than what I've just
described.
