[Chameleon] Chameleon 1.1 Installation

Wed, 3 Mar 2004 18:55:27 +0100

Hy Bart
I coudn't answer till now, because I had some problem with my Internet
connection.
I have just installed your demo, and jumped around a little while.
I am very impressed of the power of chameleon, and most of all of your
ability in customizing it. I need to learn a lot....
Besides I wish to thank for your generosity since the demo you provided me,
already answer to other few questions I was looking for
Expert listers have saved a lot of  "spam" to their addresses
I think your sample application would take some days to understand....
so probably I will non post for a while  ;-)
Many thanks again to you and to all those helped me.

Ciao
