RE: Sharing data between virtual machine and real computer

Mike, I am running DOS in VPC as a guest on a WinXP host and am useing MS
workgroups with netbeui to network with the host. If your Vista disks do not
have it, get a copy of NetBeui from WinXP. While I have not tried it, I
understand that it will install in Vista.
