One thing I forgot to mention - one of the big differences between WMVare and Win4Lin, VMW will allow you to actually cut and paste between linux and the guest OS, and vice versa, where Win4Lin will not. pretty neat.
Interesting ... with VMWare I can cut & paste from Linux to Win98 easily enough (do the usual block-mark thing in X with the mouse cursor, go back to Win98 and do Edit/Paste in your application), but I've not managed to get it working the other way (e.g. block the text in Word, do Edit/Copy, go out to Linux, click any mouse buttons you like and nothing happens).
What's the trick?
Ted, If you highlight test in Word, hit Ctrl C for copy, switch to your SuSE program, just press down the wheel on your mouse (third button), and it will paste, just like always. -- Best regards, Gary Today's thought: If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.
