vmware-- upgrade show stopper 7.3 --> FC

[Hans Troost]

Hi Mark,

I'm using VMWARE WS 4.5.2 on Windows, so my advice perhaps may not work
with the version 3 you use: in version 4.5 I have the option of setting up
Shared Folders. Such a shared folde simply cab be one on a disk on your
host system. It is especially inteden for the type of use you need.

I don't know whether this was already an option in VMWARE WS 3.x.
