In my case I definitely meant the same machine, but I did not say you *can't* run 5.2 as a guest in 4.4, just that you cannot run as a guest of a *31-bit* 4.4, which ours is. A 31-bit VM cannot create a 64-bit guest, and 5.2 will only run in a 64-bit environment. Please note that I am not saying this from personal experience, I am spouting the official line. :-) (But I do believe it). Shimon P.S. Today was a "crazy day" (tm?) - so I was unable to do anything with testing the theories regarding sharing a VTS tape. -- ********************************************************************** ** Shimon Lebowitz mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] VM System Programmer .
