I am going to use this on a VMware ESX 3.5 server. Do you have any
documentation on how to import the file from the .tar that I
downloaded? It unpacks with no file extension so I am unsure what it
is packaged as. .vmdk? .vmx?

There shouldn't be anything too fancy to loading it. It depends upon
what you use to unpack this and the operating system that you use.
Once you get everything unpacked, you should be left with a directory
called ShellNETVM which contains one ShellNETVM.vmx file and several
VMDK files. What OS/unzip utility are you using?

with the version on your website, no folder created, no vmdk or vmx
file created, just 1 file named MiniVM1 file of 932mb.

could not load to vmware 1.8 for windows or even 2.0 for windows.

Aaaah. The file I have on my site is a Tar+GZIP file. Whatever you
used to expand it probably only gunzipped the file leaving you with a
TAR file with no extention. If you like, I can also post a version
that is just zipped instead of Tar+GZIP. Otherwise, you should be
able to use your unpacker to tell it to expand the contents of the
MiniVM1 file because it is a tar file.
