I had bought the vmware 1.0 for US 169 about 1 year ago. Then they 
upgraded to v2. And I have not upgrade mine. So to get into it again. It 
is like paying it twice.

What is the process to make vmware run in NetBSD1.5? Which version of VM 
did you buy, express or the full version?

I might still dig out the old version 1 to run my 3 window program
