Hi Eduardo,

Cool, thanks! A DOS "network" drive VMware guest tool :-)

Interesting things by Ken:

http://sites.google.com/site/chitchatvmback/backdoor
list of magic I/O port commands, e.g. "get mouse position",
access to host text clipboard and of course version checks.

A patched Windows 3.1 SVGA256.DRV (inspired by Japheth :-))
While Windows used SVGA, this driver seems to use VESA?

http://sites.google.com/site/chitchatvmback/vmtools
vmftp - FTP client style access for host file transfer
(many operating systems including DOS supported :-))
vmtsr - text clipboard tool for DOS

No mouse thingy yet apparently, also getting the position
would not be enough, how can you poll or callback clicks?
