I'd just go with VCC and submit requests to the author.   It's just a 
much better emulator and experience.

Good luck getting anything out of the "M.E.S.S. team", and don't dare 
get used to any command line switches in imgtool.exe or 
mess.exe.  Ever since I let my Rainbow IDE call on imgtool.exe, they 
have repeatedly altered the command switches which breaks support for 
the latest releases of these tools.  Rainbow IDE 2.0 (unreleased) and 
the new Phoenix IDE (in development) both allow tweaking of the 
M.E.S.S. switches to help combat these drunken programmers.  :)  I 
know, that was mean.

Maybe, just maybe, a .bat file can be made which translates the old 
switches to the new ones??
