"XT":  16-bit real mode, compiled with Turbo C++. Runs on an 8088 or
       better. Limited to 640k in 64k blocks, which results in certain
       limits (albeit generous ones) on the size of messages it can read, 
       etc.

"DOS": 32-bit protected mode, compiled with DJGPP. Needs at least a 386. 
       Reportedly incompatible with some DOS memory managers, though I 
       haven't seen this myself. Can access as much memory as the system 
       allows. Generally faster than the XT version. Supports long file 
       names under Windows 9x.
