I guess that I should disclose that Jace is a complete ripoff of AppleWin.  Except for the part where I build everything from scratch and sometimes looked at how AppleWin did things to get ideas but did things differently just because I felt like it.  Oh, and wrote everything to be fully object-oriented and modular.  and it's in Java, not C.  Other than that it's a baseless ripoff, maybe at least 5% of it is still based on small fragments of applewin...

(ok, so this was a joke and Jace is not a ripoff of Applewin, though I guess you could say it was heavily inspired by AppleWin and other excellent emulators like MAME)
