VPC Additions and virtual machine integration
A set of software components called “VPC Additions” can be installed
on a guest OS. VPC Additions enable host PC and virtual machine
integration. (VPC Additions are already installed in disk images pro-
vided in Connectix OS Packs.)

You can copy and paste between applications running in the two
environments.
