[Wiltshire] WMware 2GB files

[Lashley, Malcolm]

You can also use the same tool to merge split files into one - then use qemu-img to convert to COW2 (or other formats), if you decide that Linux KVM (Kernel based Virtual Machine) suits your virtualization needs.
(From my recent testing, It seems to work well - but get an OOPS (in guest) with old 2.4 linux kernels - since one of my VM's is Redhat8 (shudder) I'm sticking with VMWare for now.)

If only I'd realised at the time!  Never mind, I'll probably have 
forgotten again by next time as well :-)
