Anyone remember Chameleon?

IF so, what was it for?

Ohh my Twitter, Well at the moment....

It was a terminal emulation program by John Palevich (sp?) originally
distributed through Atari's APX program.

I used Chameleon (tape version) many times to submit programming
assignments to school (way back when). Using tape and the slow
transfer rate (300 baud) was incredibly cumbersome but it beat driving
to school at 2:00 AM (the only time the campus terminals seemed to be
available).

And, wasn't 300baud just marvy ??

There was also a loadable desk accessory called Chameleon. It allowed
you to load and unload ACC's at will.

I was in the same boat, used it most of my freshman year with my little
xm301 modem and 800xl. I at least had a disk drive though. :-)

I appreciate the info, was there a picture of a chameleon on the disk label
or on the
cassette version if anyone remembers?

I'm almost postive it doesn't, I thought it was an APX title with only
text on the lable.

different
labels. Just trying to clear something up. Thanks.

I'm looking at the Disk Label right now, there is no chameleon on the label!
It's an APX Title with an APX Manual with Rainbow Colors on the cover! It's
about a 26 page Manual!

ok, I found what I was looking for, there is more than 1 program with that
name.

btw Ben, do you have any new 5 1/4 floppy disks for use on a atari 1050
drive?
