Communication interface   
I’ve faced the necessity to communicate application that runs inside VMWare/QNX with the programs running on host 
system, Windows in my case. VMware tools for Windows and Linux guest operation system allow to use VMCI (Virtual Machine
 Communication Interface). It would be good to have something similar (or the same) on QNX in vmware.
And also it’s interesting is it possible to adopt for this purpose clipboard sharing mechanism that is already 
implemented in vmtool and how efficiently does it work? And if it is possible, what is more efficient, network 
communication or this kind of communication?

Re: Communication interface   
Sorry, I have been a bit busy lately and not replied quicker.

I am currently working on porting at least the library level support from the open-vm-tools project to QNX 6.  This 
should allow us to use any of those libraries to write applications which can become aware of the fact they are in a VM.
  I believe this includes the VMCI stuff, but am not 100% sure.

Rick..

Re: Communication interface   
Actully it seems that VMCI is not included in open-vm-tools by now.

Best regards,
Alexey
