I haven't really used VMware, but one person warned me that it required VT-X nowadays. Also, I'm not even sure if there is still a 32-bit version either. I've heard some good things, but it might be safer to use something else. (Yes, I know, most others lack tools like VMSMOUNT. But at least QEMU has partial "fat:" read/write support. VirtualBox can use FTPSRV or whatever.) Actually, it's probably easier to use other tools for inserting and extracting files from disk images, e.g. Gilles V.'s Extract, 7-Zip 7z [sic], or GNU Mtools. > I guess it would also be possible to do something fancy for > mouse support.

The only clipboard util (of that kind) TSR that I can think of would be DOSCLIP.ARJ by Veit Kannegieser. Although I can't remember ever using it, and I can't find it on his homepage anymore. But it has sources, yet I don't know the license offhand either (don't see any obvious mentions, might have to email him for definitive answer). Take a look if curious: 1). https://sites.google.com/site/rugxulo/dosclip.arj?attredirects=0 1b). EDIT: also needs LHTSR: http://kannegieser.net/veit/quelle/lhtsr.arj 2). http://kannegieser.net/veit/programm/index_e.htm (not here? even WayBack doesn't show it, dunno!) N.B. This may not be exactly what you wanted, but I think?? it tries to be Win16 API compatible, so it's basically a global clipboard for apps that are Win16 aware. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
