No answer ? Please alter the vmware3 port then. TIA.

No answer. My conclusion is that you either have to have already licensed a copy of vmware3 (and most people at the vmware sales department, I have discovered, have not even worked there long enough to have ever dealt with vmware3) OR you need to run it illegally. Please add a pre-installation blurb to the vmware3 port informing people that they have no business even attempting to install it if they do not already own a vmware3 license that they happened to purchase _years_ ago. Thanks.
