AFAIK, vm-ware uses the loopback-device principle for its FS. That means it
mounts a file as its filesystem (similar to mounting an ISO-image in linux).
Therefore I fear it's impossible to copy the file directly onto the win 3.1
filesys.
What you can try is check out if you can get any network access in win31,
preferably FTP, and if that works, log into your linux-box and "download" the
file. So basically: get that internet working under VM-ware.
ps: isn't there another way? Can't you access the linux FS as a network drive in
vm-ware? I don't use it, so I don't know... Perhaps putting it on a floppy, and
reading the floppy in vm-ware? Just a few suggestions, I might not be making
much sense here. ;-)
