I think the main advantage of MESS is that it runs under newer versions of 
Windows, and also under Linux, whereas Jeff's requires a real DOS boot, 
otherwise it "blue screens" under Windows 98 or later.  I probably have the details 
wrong, but I think those are the major differences.  Of course each emulator 
does some things better than others.

Jeff's is faster, from what I hear.  Linux MESS is said to be really slow on 
the kind of PCs Linux usually runs on.  --Mike K.
