Hello,
Actually it was me who created that image (and 7zip was used because I don't have a wide uplink, and I wanted to upload the file quickly). As a solution for the problems you mentioned, I suggest using drawterm to connect to your VM. This should solve the two problems you describe, and you also won't need to press Ctrl+Alt every time you switch from host to guest or vice versa.

Just in case anyone is interested, it does seem possible to run the
current plan9 in VMware workstation v5.
I found a VMware image at
http://blog.gammal.org/2007/05/plan9-vmware-image.html
(compressed with a weird PC-dude-type compressor)
I'm running venti on the linux host under p9p, three 512M arenas in
/usr/local/venti, and have configured the p9 fossil to use it -- no
problems there.
The only problems I've found is that cut/snarf don't seem to work
correctly, the snarf buffer seems to always be full of what was
copied/cut on the host system, and the mouse cursor won't always behave
itself -- sometimes when it gets into the lower 20% of the screen it
leaps straight to the bottom, and a bit to the left.
Any suggestions on fixing the mouse? I use "mouseport=ps2" in plan9.ini
Why? I have to use VMware on the system for work-related porpoises so I
tried the plan9 image to see if it was workable.
