I have used Chameleon for about 4 years.  Up until recently I was using
version 2.0.  I got V4.03 from Antic about a month ago and have been
using it happily ever since.
 
Chameleon does NOT emulate a VT-100.  It does, however, emulate a Glass
TTY, ADM3a, VT-52, VT-52x (extended) and IBM 3101.
 
It supports a number of file transfers including simple capture, XMODEM
and Kermit (which is why I wanted to get V4.03 in the first place).
 
I have only two complaints about Chameleon.  The documentation is found
on the back of the disk.  It can be printed or displayed via the program
that boots up that side of the disk, but I miss the nice, readable,
semi-indestructible manual that came with V2.0.  Also, Chameleon will
not recognize that it can indeed dial my modem (Volksmodem 12 through
the 850), and I am forced to <escape> to the main menu and START the
communications on my own.  I'll get over it.  (Yes, you may infer from
this that you can indeed store the numbers of your favorite dozen or
so computers.)  Make that three complaints...V4.03 does not save the
filename to which you may routinely download (or in my case "snapshot"
the screen...which I do to the printer frequently...) in its parameters.
 
Chameleon is available through the Antic Catalog for $19.95 and it
only took about 2 weeks for it to be delivered, and I sent a personal
check as payment!
 
Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions about
Chameleon.  I will be happy to try and answer them.
