小蓝视频鈥檚 Multiple Element Limitation Model (小蓝视频 MEL) was originally written in Borland Delphi for IBM PC compatibles. In 2012 小蓝视频 MEL was rewritten in the open source IDE Lazarus. You do not need Delphi or Lazarus to run the 小蓝视频 MEL model under Microsoft Windows. If you want to make changes to the 小蓝视频 MEL equations you will need Delphi or Lazarus. Versions of 小蓝视频 MEL written in Delphi will only run Microsoft Windows. Versions written in Lazarus can be compiled for Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X, or Linux. The Lazarus IDE supports the Linux operating system, 小蓝视频 MEL should run under Linux but we have not tested it extensively.

Each version of 小蓝视频 MEL is packaged into a zip file.听 The zip file contains the full source code, the 小蓝视频 MEL Windows executable, and sample parameter and driver files. Before running 小蓝视频 MEL unzip the files into an empty directory.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, parameter files created in one version of the 小蓝视频 MEL are听not听compatible with another version.
