[Chameleon] Chameleon 1.1 Installation

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Gianluigi,

thanks.

I want to set one thing straight, the demo you could download from my 
website was created by the guys at DM Solutions on a contract to Geodan, 
the company I work for, so not by me. Your credit goes out to them!

Best regards,
Bart
